Public Disclosure Authorized We’re already seeing the outlines of that future. At the World Bank Group, we’re working to ensure that economies in developing countries can harness innovation to end poverty, and not simply be further impoverished because they can’t compete in the technology- dominated economy of the future. For more than 70 years, we have invested in everything from roads to renewable energy; we’ve worked to improve outcomes in nutrition and education; designed financial instruments to help stop epidemics, to prevent famine, and to host refugees. And we’ve created markets to build the private sector – even in countries embroiled in fragility, conflict, and violence. Public Disclosure Authorized Over the past three decades, the percentage of people in the world living in extreme poverty – less than a dollar, ninety-cents a day – has gone from 35 percent to less than 10 percent.

    Review of European and Russian Affairs 10 (1), 2016 ISSN 1718-4835 THE SLOW ROAD TO THE SOCIAL INVESTMENT PERSPECTIVE IN THE EUROPEAN UNION Shannon Dinan Université de Montréal Abstract The European Union has no unilateral legislative capacity in the area of social policy. However, the European Commission does play the role of guide by providing a discursive framework and targets for its 28 Member States to meet. Since the late 1990’s, the EU’s ideas on social policy have moved away from the traditional social protection model towards promoting social inclusion, labour activation and investing in children. These new policies represent the social investment perspective, which advocates preparing the population for a knowledge-based economy to increase economic growth and job creation and to break the intergenerational transmission of poverty. The EU began the gradual incorporation of the social investment perspective to its social dimension with the adoption of ten-year strategies. Since 2000, it has continued to set goals and benchmarks as well as offer a forum for Member States to coordinate their social initiatives. Drawing on a series of interviews conducted during a research experience in Brussels as well as official documents, this paper is a descriptive analysis of the recent modifications to the EU’s social dimension. It focuses on the changes created by the Europe 2020 Strategy and the Social Investment Package. By tracing the genesis and evolution of these initiatives, the author identifies four obstacles to social investment in the European Union's social dimension. 2 Review of European and Russian Affairs 10 (1), 2016 Introduction1 The European Union’s (EU) social dimension is a policy area that has been subject to numerous transformations within the more general evolution of the Union.

As well as discussion on the international support to Africa, conference sessions addressed a range of specific issues: health and education, conflict resolution and the role of business. One session focused specifically on the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) experience and the role of the EU in support of Africa. The key twin messages to emerge from the conference, presaged in its title, were the vital importance of African leadership in the international effort to support the continent and the need to focus on good governance as the foundation on which to build effective development.
