This Report has been prepared by a team led by
Zmarak Shalizi and comprising Kenneth
Chomitz, Christian Eigen-Zucchi, Gunnar
Eskeland, Swati Ghosh, Christine Kessides,
Linda Likar, and Robert Schneider. The team
was assisted by Leena Datwani, Claudio E.
Montenegro, and B. Bulent Ozbilgin. Valuable
contributions were made by Matthew Stilwell
and Paul Steinberg. Bruce Ross-Larson was
the principal editor. The work was carried
out under the general direction of Nicholas

The Report received useful advice from a
three-person steering committee consisting of
Nicholas Stern, Ian Johnson, and Vinod
Thomas, and a six-person internal consultative
group consisting of Michele DeNevers, Ian
Goldin, Kristalina Georgieva, Steen Jorgensen,
Odin Knudsen, and John Shilling.
Many others inside and outside the World
Bank provided helpful comments, wrote background
papers, and made other contributions,
and participated in consultation meetings.
