Connecting with our WorldBankGroup teams is always a top priority for me. Great to meet the remarkable team working in Ethiopia, South Sudan & Sudan—on the frontline of delivering #Mission300, AgriConnect, new WASH approaches & better health services, all critical for jobs.

A very productive exchange with isdo_group team in Jeddah. Our partnership has grown significantly in the past few years focused on transformative programs in client countries and scaling our support through co-financing and joint knowledge work.

My late father used to say: "See the world as it is, but keep working for the world you want."
I shared this with students at SAISHopkins while discussing jobs, Al & why human judgment still matters.
Their generation will solve challenges we're only beginning to grasp.
