In South Asia, 30% of food is lost or wasted. Addressing it can no longer be a peripheral concern, but central to the region’s food security.

A blog by @WorldBank and @BMGFIndia experts discuss the challenges, and the roles of public and private actors: https://t.co/fh7G3kAT7L

My father's decision to commit 10% of our pretax profits to serve humanity was natural given our faith in God & desire to share our blessings. His declaration 4 years ago increasing it to 15% was unexpected; his explanation continues to inspire me. https://t.co/YwZa4Ur7iO

Sports have shaped @Kasturi_CW into the leader she is today.

So inspiring to hear her talk about how she applies it to her life as one of Sri Lanka's most successful woman CEO.

The way the Maldives is replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy is a powerful example of how we accompany countries on their sustainable path.

Very interesting op-ed by Minister @anuahsa.

To deliver solutions at scale, the @WorldBank must adopt a new vision and mission that is worthy of its stakeholders’ shared aspirations. The Bank's president, Ajay Banga, spells it out. https://t.co/l9XTyh00tC

[Martin Raiser @MartinRaiser]

Grateful for the opportunity to discuss the @WorldBank's new country partnership framework for #SriLanka, the critical reforms it needs, and our role in supporting the country with @IndeewariA from #AtHydePark on @AdaDerana_24. Watch it here: https://t.co/esWBMzltZk

"Why don’t we make our whole BIMSTEC area one borderless tourist area, transcending borders?"

"Not just Sri Lankans traveling to India or Indians traveling to Bangladesh. No. It’s one tourist area for anyone who wants to come from outside. We have so much to offer" -President

Immensely saddened by the sudden passing of @HartwigSchafer my predecessor as the @WorldBank's VP for South Asia. Hart was passionate, devoted to helping others, and deeply admired by so many of us over his 30 years at the Bank. May he rest in peace.

[Dhananath Fernando @dhananath]

Postponement of reforms WILL NOT change the circumstances. "We" protested against competing with 🇮🇳 & Singapore 🇸🇬. The same "We" now leave for 🇨🇦, 🇬🇧,🇺🇸 & 🇦🇺 complaining the status of the country. After we migrate "We" cannot compete only with Sri Lankan's there. #ReformNow

[Martin Raiser @MartinRaiser]

My visit to #SriLanka helped deepen my understanding of progress on reforms.A new development model w/ improved governance, building trust in reforms and faster int’l debt relief and support are urgent to ensure 🇱🇰 doesn’t lose the opportunity for a change https://t.co/2OVQnanr0p

[Martin Raiser @MartinRaiser]

Inspired by the resilience of doctors and staff at the Marawila Base Hospital who are providing essential #healthcare in challenging circumstances. Strengthening its robust primary health care system is critical for #SriLanka to continue delivering basic healthcare services.
