During World Bank and IMF Annual Meetings, World Bank Group President Robert B. Zoellick said, “It is the vision of the World Bank Group to contribute to an inclusive and sustainable globalization – to overcome poverty, enhance growth with care for the environment, and create individual opportunity and hope.”
In laying out his vision for the World Bank Group, Mr. Zoellick suggested six strategic themes:
-
Helping to overcome poverty and spur sustainable growth in the poorest countries, especially in Africa.
-
Addressing the special challenges of states coming out of conflict.
-
Developing a competitive menu of “development solutions” for middle income countries, involving customized services as well as finance.
-
Playing a more active role with regional and global “public goods” on issues crossing national borders, including climate change, HIV/Aids, malaria, and aid for trade.
-
Supporting those advancing development and opportunity in the Arab world.
-
Fostering a “knowledge and learning” agenda across the World Bank Group to support its role as a “brain trust” of applied experience.
