Healthy Development: The World Bank Strategy for Health,
Nutrition, & Population Results updates the Bank's contribution
to improving health outcomes, including the 2015 Millennium Development
Goals, at a time when new and existing multilateral organizations,
bilateral partners, and foundations are increasing their commitment to
global health. After an extensive consultative process with governments
and global partners, including civil society organizations and
bilateral and multilateral organizations, the World Bank's new
health, nutrition, and population strategy aims to help developing
countries strengthen their health systems and improve the health and
well-being of millions of the world's poorest people, boost
economic growth, reduce poverty caused by catastrophic illness, and
provide the structural 'glue' that supports multiple
health-related programs within countries.
By renewing the Bank's focus on achieving results, this new
strategy seeks to strengthen monitoring and evaluation systems in Bank
Programs and in partner countries and calls for a greater link between
financing and achieving results on the ground. Achievements in health,
nutrition, and population have important implications for overall
countries fiscal policy and country competitiveness and, ultimately,
the Bank's mission to reduce poverty. This book will be a useful
resource for policy makers and others working in these areas in the
international arena.
