About this book
'Healthy Development: The World Bank Strategy for Health, Nutrition, and 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 country 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.
