This project aims to help improve development policies and programs by supporting the 2014 World Development Report. The World Development Report is the World Bank's annual flagship publication. Each year, the report focuses on a different aspect of development. These reports inform and shape global debates on development policy. The topic of the 2014 World Development Report is Managing Risk for Development. Managing risk responsibly and efficiently reduces the negative impact of natural disasters and economic and social crises. It also opens the way for individuals and organizations to pursue new opportunities for growth and prosperity. This report investigates how to build resilience to environmental, economic, and social shocks and disasters in order to save more lives, use resources in better ways, and guard against future crises.
