| Summary: | Jim Yong Kim, President of the World Bank Group, stated that the World Bank Group is approaching the issue in four new ways. First, the Bank is
responding to the realization that we need much better data
and analysis about refugees, migrants, and internally
displaced people. Second, with partners, the Bank is
developing warning systems to anticipate where
people will be moving. Third, the Bank is working during crises to help host countries improve the
business climate and use the private sector as a driver to
stimulate economic growth. Finally, the Bank is looking
for longer-term solutions in many countries, including
Afghanistan, Kenya, and Somalia, on issues ranging from
increasing agricultural productivity in areas hosting
refugees to helping refugees return to their countries. He
urged a strengthen engagement with the United
Nations, other multilateral development banks, the private
sector, and civil society to address the needs of so many
millions of displaced people. |
