| Summary: | The Latin America and Caribbean region
has had impressive achievements in the past decade, such as
cutting extreme poverty by half and adding more than 50
million people to the middle class. Beyond the positive
external conditions, it was the concerted efforts and
dedication of the region's countries to improve the
lives of their citizens that enabled these and many other
remarkable results. The World Bank is proud to be a part of
this story, learning from our partners and contributing with
knowledge, convening power and resources for initiatives
ranging from the local to the regional, increasing
opportunities for all Latin Americans. Results on the ground
are the core of the World Bank's mission to eradicate
extreme poverty and share the benefits of prosperity,
especially for those at the bottom of the social pyramid.
This publication presents some of the recent results the
World Bank Group has helped achieve in the Latin America and
Caribbean Region. |
