CIIP’s objective is to help countries identify and pursue market opportunities
by working directly with governments and the private sector, and to help them
develop targeted, multi-year reform initiatives to systematically address all
critical market failures that hold back innovative entrepreneurs and prevent
industries from entering global markets.
CIIP will use at least 75 % of its resources on interventions at the country
level by providing:
• market-based assessments to identify opportunities and market failures;
• development of effective public-private dialogue mechanisms;
• design of a reform programme, including policy & regulations,
access to finance, skills and technology transfer, infrastructure,
and institution building;
• financing instruments and mechanisms to support a reform agenda; and
• definition of impact targets along with measurement and evaluation.
