Summary: | The articles in this volume were
presented at the fifth annual Berlin Workshop, held in July
2002, and sponsored by InWEnt-Capacity Building
International, Germany, established in 2002 through a merger
of the German Foundation for International Development and
Carl Duisberg Gesellschaft, and the World Bank. The workshop
series is intended as a forum for the research community to
contribute to early discussions in preparation for the World
Bank's annual World Development Report. Furthermore,
the workshop series exposes initial ideas for upcoming World
Development Reports-ideas whose policy implications may not
yet be entirely clear-to recent thinking by European and
other economists and key policymakers outside the Bank.
Participants at the 2002 workshop came from a range of
research, academic, and policymaking institutions in Europe,
the United States, and developing countries as well as the
World Bank and German development institutions and
organizations. The workshop investigated how countries could
accelerate progress toward the Millennium Development Goals
by making services work for people living in poverty. The
participants hailed successful innovations; took a hard look
at some of the failures; and drew conclusions about how to
learn from both in order to guide policymakers, donors, and
citizens on ways to improve the delivery of basic services:
health, education, and water. Making services work for poor
people is also the theme of the World Development Report 2004. |
