These contributions, highlight the complexities of development and draw our attention to another issue; that of the poor themselves and how we, as the international development community, need to be more sensitive to their needs and expectations(see Voices of the Poor article). These issues make up the essence of the World Development Report 2000/2001: Attacking Poverty, which begins our special report in the following pages. Nora Lustig, director of the WDR 2000/2001, gives us an overview of the report’s major themes.
