Abstract
Many of the world’s poor people depend on natural resources for their
well-being. Four-fifths of the world’s poor people live in rural areas, and
most rural poor people depend on natural resources for their livelihoods. The renewable natural resources on which poor people depend are increasingly
being degraded, posing significant risks to resource-dependent
communities. The World Bank has committed to reducing the vulnerability of resource-dependent
people. This evaluation assesses how well the World Bank has addressed natural
resource degradation to reduce the vulnerabilities of resource-dependent
people.
