From the supplier: The World Bank's Environment Department director Kenneth Piddington believes that the Bank is addressing the problems of the environment by: bringing analysis to bear on the programs of developing countries (DCs); supplying technical expertise; and supplying additional finance for environmentally sound projects. According to Piddington, the Bank places an emphasis on the strengthening of institutions and technical capacity; fashions policies through collaboration with the borrower and not on conditionality; and will soon introduce an environmental assessment process that will increase the force of current environmental guidelines. Piddington feels that the main issues facing DCs are degraded ecosystems and the adverse effect of population growth.
