The first day of the #WBGMeetings in Bangkok brought important conversations on how to create more and better jobs. From AI innovation to civil society engagement, here are some key takeaways. 🧵

[Sadiq Abubakar Shehu @Shehusadiq]

@WorldBankGroup Creating more and better jobs starts with investing in young people and supporting local solutions. @Fatiti_65 and @BCAI are part of this work. Let’s turn these conversations into practical opportunities for our communities, especially young people.
