| Summary: | This annual report, which covers the
period from July 1, 1999 to June 30, 2000, spells out the
guiding principles of the Bank's work: country
ownership, long-term integrated approach, partnership, and
results focus. This vision was put into practice under a
pilot approach, the Comprehensive Development Framework. The
following are some of the highlights of Fiscal Year 2000: a)
The share of projects at risk of not achieving their
development objectives fell to an estimated 15 percent of
the total in fiscal 2000, or roughly half the rate of fiscal
1998. b) New lending commitments declined to $15.3 billion.
c) Seven countries qualified for debt relief under the
enhanced initiative for Heavily Indebted Poor Countries, six
of them in Africa. d) The Bank and the International
Monetary Fund began to help countries prepare Poverty
Reduction Strategies, which are becoming the basis for debt
relief and concessional lending by the Bank, the Fund, and
other development partners. e) The Bank announced up to $1
billion support to help borrowers of the International
Development Association to combat HIV/AIDS, and to address
priority social problems with cross-border or global
dimensions - with a special focus on Africa, and active
partnership in the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization. |
