The WDR focuses on basic services, particularly health, education, water, and sanitation, seeking ways of making them work for poor people. Services work when they include all the people, when girls are encouraged to go to school, when pupils and parents participate in the schooling process, when communities take charge of their own sanitation. They work when societies cacurtailcorruption—which hurts poor people more than it hurts the better off—particularly when it hits basic health services, which poor people need desperately.In short, this year’s WDR is central to the World Bank’s two-pronged strategy for development— investing in and empowering people, and improving the climate for investment.
