Social Development - June 2002

Documents Social Development June 2002 (PDF, 390 Kb, En)

From the Division Chief: In this issue of the newsletter you will find, instead of the section on 'factoids', an annotated list of current SOC publications. Let us know if you find the annotations helpful, or if you rather prefer to devote the space to facts. You will also find, in addition to briefs on our work, an announcement on forthcoming Bank institutional strategies. It's a package of six strategies: two overarching on sustainable economic growth and poverty reduction - and four more instrumental 'pillars' on regional integration, competitiveness, modernization of the state, and social development. The Bank is in the process of preparing these documents. Their profiles or outlines are on the web, and we need your feedback. Do write and give us your informed views on all, and especially on social development. Does the profile accurately capture the social development challenges for the Bank and the region? Does it chart appropriate courses of action for the Bank? We look forward to hearing from you. .
