| Summary: | Remarks
delivered by Jim Yong Kim, President of the World Bank Group, at
Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany, discuss
applying the world’s best ideas, knowledge, and experience
in development to accomplish the World Bank Group’s twin goals of ending
extreme poverty by 2030, and boosting shared prosperity. He
speaks about helping the poor and vulnerable in low- and
middle-income countries in the world not only for poverty
reduction within their borders, but is important for growth
around the world, especially going forward. He talks about
the strategy to invest in people, especially through
education and health. He stresses investments in girls
and women as particularly important because they have
a multiplier effect on the well-being of the extreme poor.
He speaks about protecting people from deadly pandemics
especially in developing countries. He insists the students
that they must apply what they have learned, and must do, for
the sake of the poorest, for the children, and for the sake
of our humanity. |
