Foreword
Development is a multidimensional
process characterized by economic growth,
investment and technological progress,
transformation of natural resources,
demographic change, advances in health
and education, and evolution of social and
political institutions. The results of
development should be measurable by
increases in output, improvements in the
welfare of people, greater efficiency in the
use of scarce resources, and a balance
between human needs and the capacity of
the environment to provide for those needs.
Because development is a complex process,
it cannot be measured by a single yardstick.
Simply measuring the size ofan economy
or its rate ofgrowth tells us little about
who benefited from growth, whether they
are better educated and healthier, or ifthe
air, water, and land around them have been
degraded. Furthermore, there is no simple
or unique path to development. Countries
have different endowments and different
opportunities. Some have first developed
their agricultural sectors and then
industrialized; others with great mineral
wealth have remained primary commodity
producers; and some are rapidly developing
their service sectors. Export-led growth is a
recent prescription for development, but
small countries have always needed to trade
for the goods and services they need, while
large countries with large hinterlands can
remain more self-sufficient.
Development is a process that never ends.
We speak loosely of developed and
developing countries, but no country or
society ever stops developing. Rich
countries as well as poor countries face the
challenge of meeting their current needs

For the 26 Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) the ratio of debt service
to exports fell from IS.1 percent in 1999 to 6.5 percent in 200S.
The gains are expected to continue through 2008. It is projected that HIPC
debt service ratios will fall to 3.2 percent by 2008.

Cities em be tremendously
efficient. It is easier to provide
water and sanitation services to
people living closer together in
urban settiDgs than in dispersed
rural communities. Access to
health, education, and other social
and cultural services is also much
more readDyavaDable. However,
as cities grow, the cost ofmeeting
basic needs increases, as does the
demand on the environment and
natural resources.
