A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. When the links in
the chain represent development projects, if individual projects
fail to achieve their purpose, the development program's
effectiveness is compromised. When the chain's links are strong and
well-connected, the results are improved for the sector, country,
and region. The role of multilateral banks is crucial; they inform
the impact of development operations and support policymakers in
decision making. This volume" "emphasizes that some crucial links
in development tend to be systematically overlooked. In these
matters, preoccupation with the immediate exigencies seems to come
at the expense of attention to enduring problems--at a great cost
to society.
Development practitioners should apply policies that have
produced results over time, ensuring that the links in the chain
are strong, but too often they overlook those links--because of
myopia, complexity, tradition, or special interests. This book will
help policy makers and practitioners focus on the links that
measure progress, apply lessons, and matter for lasting
results.
