New World Bank Strategy Shifts Focus To Building African Economies
A new World Bank plan for Africa aims to expand economies and increase job growth, "while also tackling problems of climate change, disease, food shortages and conflict," Reuters reports (Wroughton, 3/3). The approach, which was endorsed by the bank's board of executive directors on Tuesday, "shifts from a more general focus" aimed at improving economic stability and fundamentals to targeting "three key areas such as competitiveness and employment," Xinhua writes (Mutai, 3/2).
