The names of the people who will be advancing key World Bank reforms have finally been revealed.
The World Bank announced the appointment of most of the senior-level directors for its global practices to staff on Thursday. The technical offices are the pillar of bank President Jim Kim’s internal reforms intended to help practical development knowledge at the bank move more easily between countries and regions.
“Our entire leadership at the World Bank Group, including the heads of global practices, will be responsible for spreading knowledge and then scaling up successful programs, what we've called at the World Bank Group a science of delivery,” Kim said earlier this week, in a speech at the Council on Foreign Relations.
