World Development Report 2018
Learning to Realize Education’s PromiseThe World Development Report 2018 (WDR 2018)—LEARNING to Realize Education’s Promise—is the first ever devoted entirely to education. And the timing is excellent: education has long been critical to human welfare, but it is even more so in a time of rapid economic and social change. The best way to equip children and youth for the future is to place their learning at the center. The 2018 WDR explores four main themes: (1) education’s promise; (2) the need to shine a light on learning; (3) how to make schools work for learners; and (4) how to make systems work for learning.Website |- Turning Sub-Saharan Africa's Natural Resource Wealth into Human CapitalSub-Saharan Africa's natural resource-rich countries have poor human development. Children in these countries are more likely to die before their first birthday, more likely to be stunted, and less likely to attend school than children in other countries with similar income. Despite the current price downturn, extractives will remain an important part of Sub-Saharan Africa's growth story—using resource rents wisely remains a long term challenge.

With youth now making up the largest share of the population in most African countries, it is more urgent than ever to pave the way for more productive job opportunities.
