The CPS program was designed to support government efforts to maintain high 

economic growth via interventions to improve energy and water sectors’ efficiency, advisory 

services in strengthening business environment and access to social services. The resulting impacts 

of the CPS interventions could be linked to growth of the private sector (e.g., SME sector 

development and access to finance), better living conditions (e.g., reduction in power outages in 

remote regions, better access to water supply and sanitation services) and human capital 

endowments (e.g., better access to schools, tackling child labor issues and access to health care 

facilities) across all groups of population.  These efforts could have a positive impact not only on 

monetary welfare, but also on non-monetary welfare of households. Overall, the CPS activities 

contributed to sustaining the economic growth across various sectors- impacting opportunities in 

the labor market and income of households, which in turn could potentially have contributed to 

poverty reduction.
