According to Christina Malmberg Calvo, World Bank country manager for the Dominican Republic, around 1,600,000 people, about 7% of the population, who had fallen below the poverty line during the 2003-2004 economic crisis have managed to get themselves back on their feet due to the country's increased economic growth. Malmberg announced a World Bank donation of US$20 million to provide identification documentation to part of the Dominican population, aimed at enabling them to continue with their education. The project also aims to strengthen social protection systems, and to improve the focus of coverage in order to reduce poverty in the short run.
