1. "Dying for Change:" Joint WHO/World Bank Report on Poor
People's Experiences of Health and Ill-Health
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The World Bank study "Voices of the Poor," which gathered the
views of more than 60,000 poor people across the globe, looked
broadly at poverty, its determinants and consequences. Health and
ill-health emerged as central concerns of those consulted,
prompting the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Bank
to collaborate on "Dying for Change," a publication that
highlights the relationship between poverty and poor health from
the perspective of poor people.
Dying for Change, on-line at
http://www.worldbank.org/poverty/voices/reports/dying/index.htm ,
illustrates from a qualitative perspective what many quantitative
studies have already recorded: how poverty creates ill-health,
and how ill-health leads to poverty. Poor people everywhere say
how much they value good health. A fit, strong body is an asset
that allows poor adults to work and poor children to learn. A
sick, weak body is a liability, both to individuals and those who
must support them.

6. E-discussion on Environment and Poverty Linkages
-----------------------------------------------------------------
DFID, the European Commission's Directorate General for
Development, UNDP, and the World Bank have launched an electronic
discussion on "Environment and Poverty Linkages". The
discussion, which will run until June 30, 2002 solicits comments
and suggestions on a joint paper seeking to draw out the links
between poverty and the environment, and to demonstrate that
sound and equitable environmental management is a prerequisite
for effective and sustained poverty reduction.
