Summary: | Human and economic developments are
closely linked to geography. The mission of the World Bank
Group is to assist countries to overcome poverty and
establish a sustainable path for their development.
Providing reliable information about the state of the world
and its people is an important part of that mission.
Recognizing the formidable challenges and great successes
that have been achieved should strengthen our resolve to
work together to fight poverty and increase human welfare.
To that end the World Bank has published an atlas for over
40 years. This edition of the Atlas of Global Development
draws on a global database compiled from the work of the
World Bank, other international agencies, and national
statistical offices of member countries. |
