Social Dimensions of Development

• A social development approach begins with the
  perspectives and realities of poor and
  marginalized individuals and groups. Unless the
  poor and marginalized feel that development
  interventions genuinely improves their lives, and
  that its efforts empower them, those efforts will
  not be sustained. From The World Banks
  Social Development Strategy
• OBJECTIVES
• Inclusive societies, which operate so that
  institutions, policies, social norms and
  behaviors promote equal access to opportunities.
  
• Cohesive societies, which are willing and able
  to work together to address common needs and
  overcome constraints and diverse interests.
  
• Accountable institutions, which are transparent
  and serve the public interest in an effective,
  efficient and fair way, being responsive to
  peoples needs.
