“In the next 25 years, another two billion people will
share the world. Most of them will live in poverty if we
do not take action now. We need ever more effective,
innovative solutions to meet this challenge. The
Development Marketplace can help bring our collective
experience, knowledge, and passion to bear in the search
for solutions.”
— World Bank president James D. Wolfensohn, announcing
awards totaling $5 million for the winners of the
"Development Marketplace" competition sponsored by the
Bank and partners to identify the most innovative ideas
for reducing poverty.
