This growth must be based on sound social and economic policies. To create the conditions for entrepreneurship, productivity, and jobs, the developing countries must invest in health and education, including early childhood education. These countries must also invest in effective legal and judicial systems; clear tax and regulatory frameworks implemented in approaches that fight corruption at all levels; and strong and well-regulated financial systems. It was also indicated that the Bank must focus on implementation of our promises to work toward the Millennium Development Goals. Our operations must become more transparent. We must support developing countries to better build their capacity. We must act now on our promises. We must deliver on them with a sense of urgency. This is our responsibility and our destiny. 2013-08-20T17:09:23Z 2013-08-20T17:09:23Z 2002 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2002/09/2181640/time-act 0-8213-1774 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/15214 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC: World Bank Publications & Research :: Publication Publications & Research :: Publication |

This is the address to the Board of
Governors, delivered by Mr. James D. Wolfensohn, President
of the World Bank. It was indicated that the development
community has confirmed the Millennium Development Goals as
our framework for action. Our thinking and action must be
local, regional, and global, and we must work and act
together. First and foremost, developing country leaders
have asserted that the responsibility for the future of
their countries is in their hands. They know that they must
drive their development and create a constructive
environment to encourage growth that is equitable and just
for poor people, indeed for all people. This growth must be
based on sound social and economic policies. To create the
conditions for entrepreneurship, productivity, and jobs, the
developing countries must invest in health and education,
including early childhood education. These countries must
also invest in effective legal and judicial systems; clear
tax and regulatory frameworks implemented in approaches that
fight corruption at all levels; and strong and
well-regulated financial systems. It was also indicated that
the Bank must focus on implementation of our promises to
work toward the Millennium Development Goals. Our operations
must become more transparent. We must support developing
countries to better build their capacity. We must act now on
our promises. We must deliver on them with a sense of
urgency. This is our responsibility and our destiny. |
