To this end, the Bank sharpened its policies, programs, and instruments to support its central mission of reducing poverty, through improved performance monitoring, and management, and improved harmonization of operational policies, procedures, and practices among donors. The Bank also considered other issues, such as its role in the reconstruction of Iraq, the introduction of the grants component in the 13th Replenishment of the International Development Association (IDA), the Operation Evaluation Department's (OED) review of the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative, and, market access for exports from developing countries. Methods for combating terrorism, and money laundering were also considered during the period under review. The document presents thematic (and regional) perspectives based on two pillars - poverty reduction and economic management - and how to invest in people, towards an environmentally, and socially responsible growth, that supports private sector development, infrastructure development, financial management, and, promotes appropriate legal and judicial systems. The second Volume presents the financial statements for the period July 1, 2002 to June 30, 2003, reporting development activities (loans, guarantees, and other activities), including liquidity management, funding resources, and financial risk management.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOANNUAL REPORTSSTRATEGIC MANAGEMENTIDA REPLENISHMENTGRANT ELEMENTDONOR COORDINATIONNONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONSPOST-CONFLICT RECONSTRUCTIONHEAVILY INDEBTED POOR COUNTRIESINSTITUTION BUILDINGGOVERNANCE APPROACHENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTINFRASTRUCTUREINVESTMENTEMPLOYMENT CREATION POLICIESCIVIL SOCIETYINSTITUTIONAL REFORMLENDING STRATEGYNON-LENDING SERVICESPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGIESSOCIAL CAPITALHUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENTENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTSOCIAL JUSTICESOCIAL SAFETY NETSSERVICES DELIVERYEMERGENCY ASSISTANCEPRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENTLEGAL & REGULATORY FRAMEWORKJUDICIAL PROCESSADJUSTMENT LENDINGTARGETED ASSISTANCESECTORAL ASSESSMENTFINANCIAL STATEMENTSLENDING OPERATIONSRESOURCE ACCOUNTINGRISK MANAGEMENTACCESS TO INFORMATIONACCOUNTABILITYADMINISTRATIVE MATTERSANNUAL REPORTANXIETYBORROWING COUNTRIESBUDGET CYCLESBUSINESS COMMUNITYCAPACITY BUILDINGCAPITA GROWTHCAPITAL MARKETSCDFCITIZENSCIVIL SOCIETYCLEAN WATERCLIMATECOALCOLLECTIVE ACTIONCONDITIONALITYCORPORATE GOVERNANCECORRUPTIONCOUNTRY LEVELCRIMEDEBTDEBT RELIEFDEVELOPED COUNTRIESDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT AIDDEVELOPMENT GOALSDEVELOPMENT PARTNERSDEVELOPMENT PROGRAMSDIRECT INVESTMENTDISCLOSUREECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC MANAGEMENTEDUCATIONEMPIRICAL EVIDENCEEMPLOYMENTEXCESSIVE BUREAUCRACYEXERCISESFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL SECTORFINANCIAL SUPPORTFINANCIAL SYSTEMSFOREIGN INVESTORSGIRLSGOOD GOVERNANCEGOVERNANCE ISSUESHEALTHHEALTH CAREINCOMEINFORMATION CENTERSINFORMATION DISCLOSUREINFORMATION DISSEMINATIONINNOVATIONINTERMEDIARIESINTERNATIONAL COMMUNITYINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTINTERNATIONAL TRADEINVESTMENT CLIMATELIVING STANDARDSLOW-INCOME COUNTRIESMANAGERSMEDIAMONEY LAUNDERINGMOTHERSNUTRITIONPARTNERSHIPPOLICY ENVIRONMENTPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOOR COUNTRIESPOOR PEOPLEPOVERTY AGENDAPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION ACTIVITIESPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENTPRIVATE SECTORSPRODUCTIVITYPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC EXPENDITURE REVIEWPUBLIC INFORMATIONPUBLIC INSTITUTIONSPUBLIC SECTORREDUCING POVERTYREDUCTION STRATEGIESRISK MANAGEMENTRURAL AREASSCHOOLSSECTOR POLICYSOCIAL INCLUSIONSOCIAL PROTECTIONSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE GROWTHTACKLING POVERTYTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETRANSPARENCYWATER SUPPLYWorld Bank10.1596/0-8213-5594-5
