This book defines the World Bank’s approach to empowerment for economic growth and poverty reduction. It also discusses the World Bank’s social development strategy. The book presents first the theoretical underpinnings of the concept of empowerment, before examining how to apply this theory in practice, also discussing the lessons learned from analysing previous empowerment-focused projects.
