| Summary: | This World Bank annual report focuses on
the work of the World Bank Group as it relates to countries
and people striving to overcome poverty in all regions,
especially in Africa. The World Bank Group is working with
partners on more than 620 projects: to give both boys and
girls a chance to learn; offer health services to those in
need of care; promote the development of the private sector
so as to put local savings to work creating jobs and
property for the poor; and build infrastructure and secure,
sustainable energy resources that are prerequisites for
growth. This report also highlights the World Bank's
work to strengthen governance, institutions, and the rule of
law so people have a fair opportunity to forge a future for
their families and countries. Regional perspectives are
reviewed, through a breakdown of the Bank's lending and
activities across the developing world, featuring highlights
of projects in borrowing countries within each of the
Bank's six regions. The report gives the fiscal year
activities and gives a description of the Bank's
development knowledge-sharing over the fiscal year 2007; a
discussion of the Bank's approach to lending in low
income, and middle-income countries; the Bank's
resources; and a summary of the Bank's lending by
region, theme, and sector, such as environmental programs
and infrastructure projects. This section also describes the
Bank's partnerships with public, private, and civil
society stakeholders. The fiscal 2007 financial statements,
organizational information, income by region, new operations
approved in fiscal 2007 are given in this report. |
