Access to the World Bank’s open access collection, World Development Report Online, is now available directly from the Consortium Luxembourg Portal.

First published in 1978, the “World Development Report,” or WDR, is the World Bank’s annual flagship publication on development. Each report provides in-depth analysis and policy recommendations on a specific and important aspect of development—from agriculture, the role of the state, transition economies, and labour to infrastructure, health, the environment, and poverty.

A free optional individual user account allows users to take advantage of tools such as bookmarking and saving selected chapters or reports, saving searches, and taking notes.

It can be found in the Find Database tab under the letter “W” or by clicking here.
