".......World Development Report 2004 says poor must be put at center of service provision. 

September 21, 2003-The World Bank today released its annual World Development Report, which addresses why government services fail poor people and how they can be improved. Drawing on successful examples from around the globe, the report recommends putting poor people at the center of the provision of basic services such as health, education, water and electricity.  



....Freedom from illness and freedom from illiteracy are two of the most important ways poor people can escape from poverty. To achieve these goals, economic growth and financial resources are of course necessary, but they are not enough. The World Development Report provides a practical framework for making the services that contribute to human development work for poor people. With this framework, citizens, governments, and donors can take action and accelerate progress toward the common objective of poverty reduction, as specified in the Millennium Development Goals.
