	Statement prepared for the Development Committee of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund
		The World Bank Group, working closely with developing country governments, is a key player in efforts to address institutional barriers to domestic private investment and to support private sector development in member countries.
		Looking forward, bilateral and multilateral support for private sector development must continue to be linked closely with efforts by developing country governments to improve their investment climates through targeting support to country specific policies and strategies developed in the framework of national poverty reduction strategies.
		The International Development Association’s (IDA’s) Country Policy and Institutional Assessment (CPIA) exercise, which heavily stresses governance and underpins IDA’s performance-based system for allocating financing to client countries, could become a valuable tool in helping bilateral agencies better target their ODA funding to good performers.

	GTN - Gender Issues
		More recently - essentially the last five to 10 years - academics, NGOs and international organizations have begun to pay close attention to the gender dimensions of international trade regimes, liberalization, and the impact of trade regulations and WTO decisions.

		As Amartya Sen, Martha Nussbaum and others have emphasized, women tend to be disproportionately poor and disadvantaged in developing countries.[1] In addition, their ownership, control, and access to economic resources, assets and markets are often limited by social norms.
