Reforming Health and Education

"During the 1990s, far-reacing reforms in the health and education sectors have become a high priority in much of the developing world. But with few exceptions reforms in these fields have proved slow, modest, and subject to crosion or reversal. Dr. Neslon explores the obstacles to reform and the potential and limits of the banks' roles in helping to overcome these obstacles. She reviews the substantial changes already made in fending instruments and approaches, and identifies constraints within the banks themselves that are yet to be effectively addressed."--BOOK JACKET.
