Enhancing Absorptive Capacity to Achieve the MDGs: Insights from World Bank Perspectives

This presentation by Francois Bourguignon, Chief Economist and Senior Vice President at the World Bank, addresses the critical role of absorptive capacity in achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Delivered during the ECOSOC High-Level Policy Dialogue at the United Nations on March 17, 2005, it highlights key indicators such as the share of the population living on $1 a day, net primary school completion rates, and child mortality rates. The discussion encompasses the need for foreign grants, productivity gains, and effective spending strategies to meet the MDGs successfully.
