Farewell to the World Bank

It has finally happened. I speak for the last time as a member of the Staff of the World Bank. After 28 years, the time to move on has come.

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.
