India: Alleviating Poverty through Forest Development (Independent Evaluation Group Studies)

Although the involvement of the World Bank in the forest sector has a relatively short history, starting in 1988, the impact of Bank projects dates back much further. The Bank's 1991 forest strategy stressed a multi-sectoral approach. Accordingly, this review looked at the Bank's projects in the forest sector, projects with forest sector components, and projects with potential impacts on forests, as well as the Bank's non-lending services. These studies seek to judge whether the Bank has "done the right things" and "done things right." Series Set: Stock no. 31716. Price Code S75/$75.00. Titles also available individually (see below).
