conference - World Bank meeting on poverty reduction


Next week I will try to attend a 3-day World Bank conference on reducing poverty in Shanghai, although I was rather late in applying for access. Just keep my fingers crossed.
Their website is a great source for case studies that also focus on China and I will give some links to the most interesting once (pdf-files if available):
* Supply chains in the dairy industry: the New Hope Group
* Improvement of investment environment; poverty reduction in Sunan and Wenzhou
* Universalizing compulsory nine-year education; proverty reduction in rural areas;
* the loess plateau watershed rehabilitation project;
* Reform of the rural finance sector;
* China's rural water and sanitation program:
* Infrastructure, growth and poverty reduction;
* Southwest proverty reduction program;
* the east helping the west to reduce poverty - Shanghai and Yunnan
