Abstract

La Banque mondiale a été créée à l'issue de la Seconde Guerre mondiale pour financer les pays en développement. Elle exerce aujourd'hui une influence déterminante dans la définition et la mise en œuvre des politiques de développement. De ce fait, quiconque s'intéresse aux grandes problématiques actuelles du développement a besoin de connaître les principaux éléments de l'activité de cette institution internationale. L'objectif de cet ouvrage est de répondre aux principales questions que l'on se pose au sujet de la Banque mondiale : à quoi sert-elle et quelles sont ses principales missions ? Comment en est-elle arrivée à couvrir un champ aussi large ? Quelles sont les chances de succès des politiques de lutte contre la pauvreté et des Objectifs du Millénaire pour le développement ? Comment la recherche menée par la Banque mondiale contribue-t-elle à son leadership en matière de développement ? Enfin, comment résoudre la crise de légitimité actuelle ?.

Abstract

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the World Bank Group's support for health, nutrition, and population (HNP) in developing countries from 1997 to 2008 - totaling more than 17 billion - and distills lessons for greater impact in the future. It finds that the Bank Group now funds a smaller share of global support for HNP than a decade ago, but its support remains substantial and adds considerable value. About two-thirds of the Bank's HNP support has had satisfactory outcomes, often in difficult environments. But in a number of country settings, particularly in Africa, it has not perform

Abstract

Societies across Europe and Central Asia are aging, but people are not necessarily living longer. This demographic trend-caused by a decrease in fertility rather than improved longevity-presents both challenges and opportunities for governments, the private sector, and individuals alike. Some of the challenges are well known. Output per capita becomes smaller if it is shared with an increasingly larger group of dependent older people. At a certain point, there may not be sufficient resources to maintain the living standards of this older group, especially if rising expenditures on health care,
