1. The Systematic Country Diagnostic (SCD) presents a timely and evidence-based assessment of the
constraints a country has to address and the opportunities it can embrace to accelerate progress toward the
goals of ending extreme poverty and promoting shared prosperity in a sustainable way. Spurring poverty

of sustainability. The SCD draws upon all available information and, where necessary, involves new
