We are writing a new playbook to drive impactful development that is:
- Inclusive of everyone, including women and young people.
- Resilient to shocks, including against climate and biodiversity crises, pandemics and fragility.
- Sustainable, through growth and job creation, human development, fiscal and debt management, food security and access to clean air, water, and affordable energy.
To achieve this, we will work with all clients as one World Bank Group, in close partnership with other multilateral institutions, the private sector, and civil society.
