Making Services Work for Poor People
Key Services Often Fail Poor People - New Report Shows How Governments and Citizens Can Do Better
Donors must deliver foreign aid in ways that promote, not undercut, better services for the poor
WASHINGTON, September 21, 2003 — A new World Bank report warns that broad improvements in human welfare will not occur unless poor people receive wider access to affordable, better quality services in health, education, water, sanitation, and electricity. Without such improvements in services, freedom from illness and freedom from illiteracy - two of the most important ways poor people can escape poverty - will remain elusive to many.
