World Development Report (WDR) 2008

The World Bank's 2008 'World Development Report' (WDR), the 30th in the series, underlines the role of agriculture as a fundamental instrument for sustainable development and poverty reduction and provides guidance to governments and the international community on designing and implementing agriculture-for-development agendas that can make a difference in the lives of hundreds of millions of rural poor. The report thus addresses three main questions:

  • What can agriculture do for development?
  • What are effective instruments in using agriculture for development?
  • How can agriculture-for-development agendas best be implemented?
Access the full report here.
