World Bank Appoints David Sislen as Country Director for Nepal, Maldives, and Sri Lanka english.pardafas.com/world-bank-app… #pardafas #epardafas

Energizing to meet with civil society partners here in #Nepal. Rich discussion on the new World Bank Group Scorecard, Crisis Toolkit & other ways we're working to be a #BetterBank. Engaging #CSOs is a key part of the #IDA21 replenishment & essential to ensuring that #IDAworks.

Inspired to see the power of #multilateralism at the 3rd replenishment meeting of #idaworks in #kathmandu #nepal

BBB used to mean Build Back Better I prefer the new BBB David Sislen proposed: Build Better BEFORE Disaster & response is a trap too many communities are in; we must REDUCE their vulnerability BEFORE the storm #IDAworks to #EndPoverty even in the face of #climatecrises

Good discussion with Barsha man Pun on Nepal’s green energy agenda. I reaffirmed the commitment of the World Bank to supporting the government's ambitions.

Wonderful joining Anna Bjerde in discussions with the authorities in #nepal about their #green #energy #transition.

I loved the opportunity to reflect on how #idaworks can support #resilience, #crisis #preparedness, and #risk #reduction for #latinamerica and the #caribbean incl through Inter-American Development Bank and World Bank platform for resilience in the Caribbean.

It is a pleasure to be in #SriLanka to introduce the World Bank Nepal’s new Country Director for Maldives, Nepal & Sri Lanka, David Sislen to government and key partners. I am confident that our seven decades of partnership with Sri Lanka will be strengthened under his leadership.

Great meeting again with 🇱🇰 President RW_LK I congratulated him on the recent progress with external debt restructuring and restoration of economic stability. The return to sustained growth will require new investments and continued reforms. Assured him of World Bank’s support.

Very productive dialogue with #SriLanka's State Minister of Finance Shehan Semasinghe and World Bank Nepal. Sri Lanka’s return to macro stability is a significant achievement. We discussed how to sustain this progress in the years to come.

I am in #Maldives on my first visit where I met Ministry of Finance and Planning Minister Hon. Dr. Mohamed Shafeeq, and senior officials from MMA and development partners. I appreciate the reform efforts and look forward to our continued engagement and collaboration for a prosperous future.

As more frequent and intense negative shocks hit #SouthAsia, countries need to rethink social protection to protect the poor and vulnerable but also help people recover from shocks and realize opportunities. Read more in my new blog: wrld.bg/qRn350SyQXb
