@M_Hoodh The World Bank is NOT closing its office or changing its engagement in Maldives. We are just consolidating communications channels. We remain wholly committed to supporting Maldives in its development agenda.

I had an insightful meeting with @DavidSislen, Country Director for @WorldBankNepal.

@WFP and the @WorldBankGroup share a long history of collaboration, partnering with governments to strengthen social protection systems, nutrition, resilience and food security. Together, we can align strategies and resources to scale solutions that deliver lasting, sustainable impact.

In Nepal, resilient safety nets, effecive disaster risk management, locally led digital innovations, and employment-focused value chains are essential.

@WFP_Nepal looks forward to deepening collaboration with the World Bank to advance shared goals for communities across the country, especially for young people.

Nepal’s greatest barrier to economic growth isn’t a lack of resources, but the untapped potential of its people which is being held back by inadequate investment in education, healthcare, and skills, writes @DavidSislen of the World Bank.

As more frequent and intense negative shocks hit #SouthAsia, countries need to rethink social protection to protect the poor and vulnerable but also help people recover from shocks and realize opportunities. Read more in my new blog: https://t.co/YYqtzDn6XZ

Very productive dialogue with #SriLanka's State Minister of Finance @ShehanSema and @WorldBankNepal. Sri Lanka’s return to macro stability is a significant achievement. We discussed how to sustain this progress in the years to come.

[Martin Raiser @MartinRaiser]

Great meeting again with 🇱🇰 President @RW_UNP I congratulated him on the recent progress with external debt restructuring and restoration of economic stability. The return to sustained growth will require new investments and continued reforms. Assured him of @WorldBank’s support.

[Martin Raiser @MartinRaiser]

It is a pleasure to be in #SriLanka to introduce the @WorldBankNepal’s new Country Director for Maldives, Nepal & Sri Lanka, David Sislen to government and key partners. I am confident that our seven decades of partnership with Sri Lanka will be strengthened under his leadership.

I loved the opportunity to reflect on how #idaworks can support #resilience, #crisis #preparedness, and #risk #reduction for #latinamerica and the #caribbean incl through @the_IDB and @WorldBank platform for resilience in the Caribbean. @WBG_Cities @WBCaribbean @BancoMundialLAC

BBB used to mean Build Back Better

I prefer the new BBB @DavidSislen proposed: Build Better BEFORE

Disaster & response is a trap too many communities are in; we must REDUCE their vulnerability BEFORE the storm
