Reversing the downward spiral of this degradation is essential to any strategy for reducing poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa. This study outlines the World Bank's strategy for improving its assistance to SSA countries as they move toward environmentally sustainable development (ESD). It assesses the environmental situation and long-term trends in Africa, draws lessons from Bank experience, and proposes new directions. The study focuses on three questions: what are the key environmental issues and challenges in Sub-Saharan Africa? How has the World Bank responded to those challenges, and what are the lessons learned? And what should the World Bank do to help African countries make their development sustainable? 2012-08-13T09:56:56Z 2012-08-13T09:56:56Z 1997-01 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/1997/01/12850758/towards-environmentally-sustainable-development-sub-saharan-africa http://hdl.handle.net/10986/9944 English Africa Region Findings & Good Practice Infobriefs; No. 78 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief Publications & Research Africa
