World Bank J Building (Room J1-050), 701 18th St. NW
(corner of 18th St. and Pennsylvania Ave) Chaired by: Danny Leipziger (Vice President and Head of Network, PREM Network, World Bank) Commentary by: Alan Gelb (Director, Development Policy, DECVP, World Bank) James Robinson (Professor of Government, Harvard University) Ernest Aryeetey (Director of the Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research (ISSER), University of Ghana) Louise Cord (Sector Manager, Poverty Reduction Group, PREM Network, World Bank)
Delivering on the Promise of Pro-Poor Growth contributes to the debate on how to accelerate poverty reduction by providing insights from eight countries that have been relatively successful in delivering pro-poor growth: Bangladesh, Brazil, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Tunisia, Uganda, and Vietnam. It integrates growth analytics with the microanalysis of household data to determine how country policies and conditions interact to reduce poverty and to spread the benefits of growth across different income groups. This title is a useful resource for policy makers, donor agencies, academics, think tanks, and government officials seeking a practical framework to improve country level diagnostics of growth-poverty linkages. The panel discussion will examine key ingredients of a shared growth strategy and some of the challenges faced in implementing such strategies on the ground. To help promote country specific strategies, a new multi-donor diagnostic facility will be announced that will support country studies and knowledge management products on shared growth starting in 2007.
