‘Succession plans’?? 🤦🏻‍♂️

So much for the lip-service paid by European Cs on reforming IMF governance - as they move to swiftly nominate Georgieva for a 2nd term

Surely 80 years is enough - time to end the neocolonial, undemocratic Gentleman’s Agreement

OPCS Director Mamta Murthi says DPL policies & procedures should allow significant room for staff judgment.

Carolina responds: relying on staff judgment means discretionality, thus increased risk. DPL policies must be stronger. This can be a starting point for more inclusivity.
