English
Edited by Alexander S. Preker , Richard M. Scheffler , Mark C. Bassett
Published December 2006
ISBN: 0-8213-6619-X
Private voluntary health insurance already plays an important role in the health sector of many low and middle income countries. The book reviews the context under which private insurance could contribute to an improvement in the financial sustainability of the health sector, financial protection against the costs of illness, household income smoothing, access to care, and market productivity. This volume is the third in a series of in-depth reviews of the role of health care financing in providing access for low-income populations to needed halthcare, protecting them from the impoverishing effects of illness, and addressing the important issues of social exclusion in government financed programs.

ISBN: 0-8213-6831-1
The World Bank Legal Review, Volume 2 is a publication for policy makers and their advisers, attorneys, and other professionals engaged in the field of international development. It offers a combination of legal scholarship, lessons from experience, legal developments, and recent research on the many ways in which the application of the law and the improvement of justice systems promote poverty reduction, economic development, and the rule of law.
In keeping with the theme of the World Development Report 2006: Equity and Development, and following the success of the World Bank Group's Legal Forum on "Law, Equity, and Development" in December 2005, this volume of The World Bank Legal Review focuses on issues of equity and development. The volume draws together some of the key ideas of the Legal Forum, including articles by many of its distinguished participants, and explores the role of equity in the development process, highlighting how legal and regulatory frameworks and equitable justice systems can do much to level the playing field in the political, economic, and sociocultural domains, as well as how they can reinforce existing inequalities. Consistent with the interdisciplinary nature of this endeavour, Law, Equity and Development contains work by academics and practitioners in law, criminal justice, economics, social development, cultural studies, and anthropology.
 Ending Poverty in South Asia: Ideas That Work
English
Edited by Deepa Narayan , Elena Glinskaya
Published November 2006
ISBN: 0-8213-6876-1
Development cannot be imposed from the outside. It has to happen from within. This groundbreaking book from South Asia shows how homegrown experiments can be scaled up to transform the lives of millions of poor women and men in the developing world.
Here are stories of development ideas that work - and of the visionary individuals who were determined to see them succeed. These achievements have taken place against all odds, in countries struggling with widespread corruption, weak governance, minimal infrastructure, deep-rooted social divisions, and poorly functioning judicial systems.
South Asian economies are booming, yet millions are still excluded from participation in this growth. This book offers valuable lessons in how to make markets and services work to benefit poor people directly, enhancing their dignity and freedom of choice. Written by program insiders, these case studies show how governments, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector can initiate change, learning, expanding and adapting as they go.
Ending Poverty in South Asia is an essential tool for policy makers, social scientists, and development practitioners - indeed for all who are interested in tackling poverty and growth issues from the bottom up.
