World Development Report 2006 on Equity and Development
-------------------------------------------------------
From: Ruggiero, Mrs. Ana Lucia (WDC)

The World Development Report (WDR) 2006 explores the role of eq-
uity in development. Inequalities in incomes, in health and in
educational outcomes have long been a stark fact of life in many
developing countries. These are often accompanied by profound
differences in influence, power and social status, whether at
the level of individuals or groups. High inequalities matter for
development and need to be addressed by domestic and interna-
tional policies and institutions.

The report will be published in September 2005.
