But despite progress during the past decade, the battle is far from won, and progress has been slower than had been hoped at the beginning of the 1990s. This report discusses how the Bank is responding to this challenge and translating the approach of the World Development Report 2000/2001 on poverty into practice. This edition of the annual Progress Report on Poverty Reduction consolidates the findings of two documents prepared by World Bank staff and presented to the institution's Executive Board in June 2001: a report, Poverty Reduction and the World Bank: Progress in Fiscal 2000 and 2001, and a paper, Attacking Poverty: Operationalizing the World Development Report 2000/2001 at the World Bank. Progress and prospects towards achieving development goals, encompass attention to trends in income poverty, and contain human capital achievements, but responsive to broader understanding, and sharper focus in strengthening intellectual underpinnings, and refining strategic directions, and country business environment. Country assistance strategies should be reoriented to improving poverty analysis, and monitoring results, within a framework to empower communities, increase opportunities, and strengthening security.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTABILITYADJUSTMENT LENDINGAID EFFECTIVENESSANALYTICAL WORKANNUAL GROWTHBROAD CONSULTATIONSCAPCAPACITY BUILDINGCASCITIZENSCIVIL SOCIETYCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGECONCESSIONAL ASSISTANCECONCESSIONAL LENDINGCOUNTRY ASSISTANCE STRATEGIESCOUNTRY LEVELCOUNTRY OWNERSHIPCOUNTRY POVERTY ASSESSMENTSCOUNTRY STRATEGIESDATA ANALYSISDATA AVAILABILITYDATA COLLECTIONDEBT RELIEFDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPING WORLDDEVELOPMENT GOALSDEVELOPMENT INDICATORSDEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONSDEVELOPMENT PARTNERSDEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMEDEVELOPMENT REPORTDISCLOSUREECONOMIC COOPERATIONECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC MANAGEMENTECONOMIC SHOCKSETHNIC MINORITIESFEEDBACK LOOPSFINANCIAL CRISESFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL MARKETSFINANCIAL SECTORGEOGRAPHICAL AREASGOVERNANCE CONSTRAINTSGROWTH RATEGROWTH RATESHEADCOUNT INDEXHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE SYSTEMSHEALTH INDICATORSHIPCHOUSEHOLD SURVEYHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTINCIDENCE OF POVERTYINCOMEINCOME COUNTRIESINCOME INEQUALITYINCOME POVERTYINDIVIDUAL COUNTRIESINFRASTRUCTURE PROVISIONINSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENTINTERNATIONAL COMMUNITYINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT GOALSLEARNINGLIFE EXPECTANCYLONG-TERM PERSPECTIVELOW-INCOME COUNTRIESMEDIUM TERMMONITORING DATAMORTALITYNGONON-INCOME DIMENSIONSOPERATIONAL POLICIESPARTICIPATORY APPROACHESPARTICIPATORY POVERTYPARTICIPATORY POVERTY ASSESSMENTPARTICIPATORY PROCESSESPERSISTENT POVERTYPOLICY MAKERSPOLICY REFORMSPOOR COUNTRIESPOOR MANAGEMENTPOOR PEOPLEPOVERTY ANALYSISPOVERTY ASSESSMENTPOVERTY ASSESSMENTSPOVERTY FOCUSPOVERTY FRONTPOVERTY IMPACTPOVERTY INDICATORSPOVERTY MONITORINGPOVERTY OUTCOMESPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGIESPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPOVERTY WORKPPAPRIMARY SCHOOLPRO-POORPRO-POOR GROWTHPROGRAM OF TARGETED INTERVENTIONSPROGRAMSPTIPUBLIC ACTIONSPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC EXPENDITURE MANAGEMENTPUBLIC EXPENDITURE REVIEWPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SECTOR REFORMREDUCING POVERTYREGIONAL DEVELOPMENT BANKSRICH COUNTRIESSERVICE PROVIDERSSOCIAL CONDITIONSSOCIAL EXCLUSIONSOCIAL GROUPSSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL SERVICESSTATISTICAL DATASUSTAINABLE GROWTHTECHNICAL SKILLSTRANSITION ECONOMIESTRANSPARENCY POVERTY INCIDENCEHUMAN CAPITALPOVERTY MITIGATIONPOVERTY ANALYSISDEVELOPMENT COOPERATIONTARGETED ASSISTANCEPROGRESS REPORTSPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGIESMONITORING CRITERIAEMPOWERMENTSECURITY MEASURESWorld Bank10.1596/0-8213-5097-8
