Remarks Delivered at the 33^rd Annual Meeting of the Association for International Agriculture and Rural Development (AIARD)

- 33^rd Annual Meeting of the Association for International Agriculture and Rural Development (AIARD), Washington, DC

It is a privilege to be with you today and to share my views on the rural development imperative.

Statement at Microcredit Summit

- Microcredit Summit

Consider the paradox of our times. We live in a world of plenty, of dazzling technology and enormous prosperity. Capital markets transact over $1.2 trillion a day, enough to buy and sell the entire US economy in a week. Globalization brings unrivaled opportunity to the nimble, the educated, and the powerful.

Setting the New Agenda for Agricultural Research

The world is facing a crisis. We must promote sustainable agriculture for food security in the developing world. We must rise to the triple challenge of poverty reduction, food security and sound natural resource management. These challenges must be met in a political environment which is a dangerous mix of complacency, fiscal constraints, aid fatigue and fundamental disagreements about the magnitude of the problem and the appropriate paths to its solution.

In the debate on managing the world’s finite natural resources, few issues have achieved the pre-eminence that water has. As an issue, water pervades society.

Managing Water Resources Sustainably: Challenges and Solutions for the New Millennium

As the dawn of a new millennium approaches, there is growing recognition that one of the biggest challenges confronting humanity is the need to better manage the earth’s precious water resources. It is therefore fitting that the French Republic is hosting an "International Conference on Water and Sustainable Development" – a "Water Summit" – that is bringing together the various stakeholders concerned with water issues.

Managing Global Water Resources Sustainably: A World Bank Perspective

It is a privilege to join you and to share my views on water, one of nature’s precious resources. Water permeates society, and its availability impacts all facets of human endeavor, be it economic, ecological, or social. Indeed, freshwater is being dubbed as the "oil of the late 20th century" – an essential, but increasingly scarce resource for post-industrial society.
