How much does conflict delay disaster recovery? The answer can be seen from space. Satellite data reveals that when severe floods hit active conflict zones in Mozambique, local economies stayed "in the dark" and struggled to recover for more than six months longer than in stable regions.

Research informs policy → Policy attracts investment → Investment creates jobs.
It happens when knowledge is generated, shared, and actually used. That's what the @WorldBankGroup's Knowledge Bank does. When knowledge moves, development moves with it.
