Development News Discontinued

When Development News was launched in the early 1990s, it filled an important niche for those inside and outside the Bank seeking a daily digest of development-related news. In the two decades since, a whole range of comprehensive and accessible online alternatives have emerged, many of them tools specifically targeted and tailored to meet the needs of development specialists. In light of the availability of such tools, we re-evaluated the role of the publication and concluded that it was no longer adding singificantly to existing development news outlets. We hope you will continue to follow the World Bank's contribution to development and the development debate via our website.
