| Summary: | This is a speech given by James D.
Wolfensohn, President of the World Bank Group, at the Annual
Meetings held in Washington D.C., on October 6, 1998. It
sets out the Bank's role and mission in dealing with
the human crisis that has received so little attention in
the media. Dealing with that crisis requires long-term work
on both the social and the structural agendas. The speech
also lays out a new "development framework." Such
a framework would allow countries to look at the totality of
change necessary to make development inclusive and sustainable. |
