Great to connect w/IDA - World Bank membership at the 2nd Replenishment Mtg to prepare for an ambitious #IDA21 , discussing attention to debt challenges, concessional finance, and extra attention to scale, speed, and impact to end poverty on a livable planet. #IDAworks #WBGMeetings
As always, a great pleasure to see my colleague and friend Amina J Mohammed at #WBGMeetings . The multiple overlapping crises developing countries are facing require unprecedented solidarity & collaboration — and I value our partnership with United Nations!
And that’s a wrap! Excellent Spring Meetings and great opportunity to connect again with countries, partners and all who are committed to the cause of development. #WBGMeetings
Terrific convening of clients & partners to surface lessons & innovations in tackling air pollution, which kills around 7M people annually. We need the best possible knowledge, financing & partnerships to ensure everyone has access to clean air, for a livable planet #WBGMeetings
I really enjoyed talking to Eugene Cho @Bread4TheWorld, during the #WBGMeetings . We talked about how, in challenging times, nations need lifelines & resources – and why stronger partnerships can help deliver real solutions to reducing & eliminating hunger. wrld.bg/Ph9O50Rk4x7
Appreciated my meeting with Niels Annen 🇪🇺, State Secretary, #Germany 🇩🇪 to discuss progress made on World Bank reforms to deliver more & better to our membership incl to tackle global challenges such as climate and the need for a strong commitment to #IDA21 replenishment.
Good to meet Karien van Gennip, Deputy Prime Minister & Minister of Social Affairs and Employment #Netherlands 🇳🇱 to talk about equitable labor markets to foster more inclusive growth in countries & how a strong #IDA21 can help countries regain lost development ground.
This is about ambition & scale - how to best use digital’s vast potential to boost investments in people, close the digital divide & give countries a fighting chance. Excellent conversation #WBGMeetings Human Capital Conclave with Jeff Maggioncalda, @NandanNilekan Mamta Murthi
