It examines the modernization of this global economic institution which is now focused on home-grown development planning where borrowing countries are in the driver's seat of their own development. It takes a closer look at the major development challenges addressed by the Bank during the past decade such as debt relief, corruption, and HIV/AIDS and provides a timeline of events that have shaped the Bank into the institution it is today.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOADAPTATIONADJUSTMENT LENDINGADJUSTMENT POLICIESALLIANCESANALYTICAL WORKBASIC SERVICESCANCERCAPITAL ACCOUNTCASE STUDIESCASE STUDYCIVIL SOCIETYCLIMATECOUNTRY OWNERSHIPCOUNTRY STRATEGIESCRIMEDEBT RELIEFDECENTRALIZATIONDEMOCRACIESDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPING WORLDDEVELOPMENT AIDDEVELOPMENT ECONOMICSDEVELOPMENT EFFORTSDEVELOPMENT GOALSDEVELOPMENT NETWORKDEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONDEVELOPMENT PARTNERSDEVELOPMENT POLICYDEVELOPMENT PROCESSDEVELOPMENT REPORTDEVELOPMENT STRATEGYECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC MANAGEMENTECONOMIC POLICYECONOMICSECONOMISTSEMPLOYMENTEMPOWERMENTFATHERSFINANCIAL CRISISGENDER DISPARITIESGENDER INEQUALITIESGIRLSGLOBAL ECONOMYHEALTH CAREHEALTH SERVICESHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN FACEINCOME COUNTRIESINNOVATIONINSTITUTIONAL ASSESSMENTINSTITUTIONAL CHANGEINSTITUTIONAL CHANGESINTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONSINTERNATIONAL TRADEINTRINSIC VALUEINVESTMENT CLIMATEISOLATIONLIFE EXPECTANCYLIVING STANDARDSLONG RUNLONG-TERM DEVELOPMENTLOW INCOMELOW-INCOME COUNTRIESMANAGERSMEDIAMIGRATIONNATIONAL POVERTYNATIONAL POVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGIESPARTNERSHIPPOLICY DIALOGUEPOLICY MAKERSPOLICY PACKAGEPOLICY RESEARCHPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOOR COUNTRIESPOOR GOVERNANCEPOOR PEOPLEPOOR PERSONPOVERTY ASSESSMENTSPOVERTY ERADICATIONPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIVATE SECTORPUBLIC INFRASTRUCTUREPUBLIC SPENDINGREDUCING POVERTYRESEARCH REPORTRESEARCH REPORTSRICH COUNTRIESSERVICE DELIVERYSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL ENVIRONMENTSOCIAL ISSUESSOCIAL JUSTICESOCIAL SECTORSSOCIAL SERVICESSTANDARD DEVIATIONSTRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENTSTRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENT PROGRAMSSUB-SAHARAN AFRICASUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE GROWTHTECHNICAL SUPPORTVICTIMSVIOLENCEWorld Bank10.1596/0-8213-6173-2
