It assesses the extent to which Bank interventions have contributed to growth and poverty reduction and the effectiveness of different types of interventions. The review uses the key elements of the Bank's 2001 poverty reduction strategy to examine the extent to which these elements respond to the needs of the poor, are actually being carried out, and are having an impact. Like previous ARDEs, this review draws primarily on OED's recent evaluation studies, synthesizing and highlighting the findings of these studies around a common theme-in this case, poverty reduction.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTABILITYAGRICULTURAL RESEARCHBANKING REFORMBENEFICIARIESBUREAUCRACYBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTCAPITA ALLOCATIONSCASCITIZENSCORRUPTIONCOUNTRY ASSISTANCE STRATEGIESCOUNTRY LEVELCRISESDEBTDEBT RELIEFDECENTRALIZATIONDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPING WORLDDEVELOPMENT GOALSDEVELOPMENT POLICYDEVELOPMENT REPORTDEVELOPMENT STRATEGIESDISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITSDISTRIBUTION OF INCOMEDIVERSE IMPACTSECONOMIC GROWTHEXTRACTIVE INDUSTRIESEXTREME POVERTYFINANCIAL SECTORGOOD GOVERNANCEGOVERNANCE ISSUESGROWTH PROCESSHEALTH CAREHIPCHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHUMAN ASSETSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTINCOME POVERTYINCREASING INEQUALITYINDIVIDUAL COUNTRIESINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINSTITUTIONAL REFORMSINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTINTERNATIONAL TRADEINTERVENTIONINVESTMENT CLIMATELEARNINGLIFE EXPECTANCYLITERACY RATESLOW-INCOME COUNTRIESMACROECONOMIC MANAGEMENTMACROECONOMIC REFORMSMACROECONOMIC STABILITYMARKET ECONOMIESMICROFINANCENEGATIVE IMPACTNGONUTRITIONOPERATIONAL WORKPACIFIC REGIONPARTICIPATORY PROJECTSPEER REVIEWPER CAPITA INCOMEPOLICY ALTERNATIVESPOLICY ISSUESPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOOR COUNTRIESPOOR PEOPLEPOST-CONFLICT COUNTRIESPOVERTY ASSESSMENTPOVERTY ASSESSMENTSPOVERTY IMPACTPOVERTY LEVELSPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY MEASURESPOVERTY MONITORINGPOVERTY OUTCOMESPOVERTY PROFILESPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION EFFORTSPOVERTY REDUCTION OBJECTIVESPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGY PAPERPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGY PAPERSPOVERTY-REDUCING GROWTHPRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENTPRIVATIZATIONPROGRAMSPROJECT OBJECTIVESPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC INSTITUTIONSPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SECTOR CORRUPTIONPUBLIC SECTOR GOVERNANCEPUBLIC SECTOR REFORMPUBLIC SERVICESREDUCING POVERTYREGRESSION ANALYSISRISK MANAGEMENTSAFETY NETSSERVICE DELIVERYSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTSSOCIAL INDICATORSSOCIAL SAFETY NETSSOCIAL SERVICESSTRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENTSUB-SAHARAN AFRICASUBSIDIARYSUSTAINABLE GROWTHSUSTAINABLE POVERTYSUSTAINABLE POVERTY REDUCTIONTARGETINGTECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONTRANSITION COUNTRIESTRANSITION ECONOMIESUNDERSTANDING OF POVERTYURBAN DEVELOPMENTWorld Bank10.1596/0-8213-6303-4
