    This document details the scope and the
    main elements of the Country Partnership Framework (CPF)
    with the Republic of Botswana for FY16-20. The previous

    This paper uses the 2010/11 Income and
    Expenditure Survey for South Africa to analyze the
    progressivity of the main tax and social spending programs
    and quantify their impact on poverty and inequality. The
    paper also assesses the redistributive effectiveness of
    fiscal interventions given the resources used. Because it
    applies the Commitment to Equity methodology, the results
    for South Africa can be compared with other middle-income

    Lesotho

    Lesotho is one of the poorest and most
    unequal countries in the world. It is a small, mostly
    mountainous, and largely rural country of about 2 million
    people, completely surrounded by South Africa. The
    persistence of poverty and rising inequality are striking

    capita over the past decade. Redefining the role of the

    Botswana

    Botswana has been one of the worlds
    fastest growing economies over the past 50 years, allowing
    the country to move from being among the poorest to upper
    middle income status - this has had the effect of pulling
    the majority of the population out of poverty. While
    Botswana is rightly praised for its management of resource
    wealth, it is apparent that the high levels of investment by
