World Bank - The scalability of poverty relief

The World Bank will focus during its Poverty Relief conference in Shanghai on the scalability of those programs that work, and take China as an example, World Bank President James D. Wolfoensohn said in a press conference. He was in all ways very politically correct and did not get any questions some colleagues will ask him in seperate interviews: how does this conference fit into the change in public perception the World Bank is trying to create?
China has taken 400 million people out of poverty in the past twenty years, Wolfensohn added, so it was an obvious place to hold such a meeting, although it would certainly not focus on China only. China can show how to multiply programs that prove they can work.
