     Summary

The report contends that the solution is not to reject change in order to avoid risk but to prepare for the opportunities and risks that change entails. Managing risks responsibility and effectively has the potential to bring about security and a means of progress for people in developing countries and beyond. The WDR 2014 argues that people can successful confront risks that are beyond their means by sharing their risk management with others. The WDR 2014 provides policy makers with insights and recommendations to address difficult questions. It should serve to guide the dialogue, operations, and contributions from key development actors - from civil society and national governments to the donor community and international development organizations.
