Foreword
In May 1997, about 250 social fund practitioners came together in Washington, D.C. for a work-shop sponsored jointly by the World Bank’s Economic Development Institute and a number of its partners from inside and outside the Bank. As the conclusions of the workshop clearly state, social funds have become an important instrument in our fight against poverty.
Social funds have also proven to be effective in forging partnerships with the private sector and with community groups to help the poor help themselves. In fact, social funds are reaching areas and groups heretofore untouched by public sector interventions, demonstrating that par-ticipatory development can be both cost-effective and quick. Social funds, however, should not be seen as a magic wand that will eradicate poverty. They can only be truly effective when combined with sustainable economic policies and investments in people.
As a follow-up to the workshop, the World Bank is supporting regional seminars as well as the strengthening or creation of regional networks of social funds, and we see an increasing need for this kind of knowledge exchange and learning. Looking back at ten years of experi-ence, the Bank has found social funds to be a unique and valuable instrument, both in reaching poor people directly and in catalyzing the energies of a wide range of partners: public, private, nongovernmental organizations, and local communities. Looking forward to the next ten years, it is crucial that we build on the lessons of experience to ensure that we use this instrument as effectively as possible. The ideas of those who have contributed to this volume will help us achieve that goal.
Sven Sandström Managing Director The World Bank
