The World Development Report (WDR) is an annual report published since 1978 by the World Bank. Each WDR provides in-depth analysis of a specific aspect of economic development. Past reports have considered such topics as agriculture, youth, equity, public services delivery, the role of the state, transition economies, labour, infrastructure, health, the environment, and poverty. The reports are the Bank's best-known contribution to thinking about development.

And all the world herein accord,
Love is a great and mighty lord;”
