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. 2018-10-31T20:00:21Z 2018-10-31T20:00:21Z 2016-09-19 Speech http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/447141536753955311/Remarks-by-World-Bank-Group-President-Jim-Yong-Kim-at-the-High-Level-Meeting-on-Addressing-Large-Movements-of-Refugees-and-Migrants http://hdl.handle.net/10986/30639 English Speech at United Nations General Assembly, September 19, 2016, New York; CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Speech Afghanistan Jordan Kenya Lebanon Somalia Syrian Arab Republic
