The Full Form of CAW is Country Analytic Work.

The Country Analytic Work (CAW) website is a joint initiative of a number of donors and development institutions aimed at facilitating coordination and cooperation among countries and donors with goals toward improving development impact and cost-effectiveness for both capacity building and knowledge sharing.

CAW’s work encompasses the analysis and advice necessary to strengthen policy dialogue, develop and implement country strategies, and carry out sound lending operations. Through an active exchange of information, all partners stay up to date on development challenges and successes in a particular country or region with the benefit of common thematic activities and diverse opinions.

The CAW website provides:

• a document library with access to project documents from partner agencies
• contact points for the agency people with whom to communicate
• main product toolkits for the main diagnostic products
• procedures for conducting analytic work
• examples of best practices.
