Developing electric power: thirty years of World Bank experience
As the world's largest development agency, the World Bank is also its most influential. The author describes the Bank's policies and experience in power lending in the context of the evolution of general ideas on economic development. He extracts some lessons from the World Bank's responses and from its lending experience. Following a general perspective of the Bank's activities, separate chapters deal with the issues of financial policies, institutional development in the power industry, investment planning and project implementation, and an assessment of the Bank's role, past and future, in power development. This includes subtle nonmonetary as well as financial contributions. Country summaries appear in the appendix. 44 references, 10 tables.
