".......World
Development Report 2004 says poor must be put at center of service provision.
September
21, 2003-The World Bank today released its annual World Development
Report, which addresses why government services fail poor people and how they
can be improved. Drawing on successful examples from around the globe, the
report recommends putting poor people at the center of the provision of basic
services such as health, education, water and electricity.
...Freedom
from illness and freedom from illiteracy are two of the most important ways
poor people can escape from poverty. To achieve these goals, economic growth
and financial resources are of course necessary, but they are not enough. The
World Development Report provides a practical framework for making the
services that contribute to human development work for poor people. With this
framework, citizens, governments, and donors can take action and accelerate
progress toward the common objective of poverty reduction, as specified in the
Millennium Development Goals.
