| Summary: | Jim Yong Kim , World Bank Group President, spoke about how
United Nations and the World Bank Group have made
significant progress in working together to help the poor
and the vulnerable. He discussed increasing the impact
of humanitarian action in the face of new threats, such as
climate change, pandemics and an unprecedented refugee
crisis. He suggested three ways in which the World Bank
Group and all the multilateral development banks can work
together, especially in protracted humanitarian responses:
First, produce new data and evidence to promote a
risk-based approach, prevent crises and respond to the
needs of refugees and host countries; Second, embrace
the power of leveraging public funds for greater impact;
Third, explore tying this funding to specific
outcomes in addressing protracted humanitarian crises. |
