Details
The global pandemic has reversed decades of progress on poverty, healthcare and education and the knock-on effects are most devastating for the most vulnerable. The scale of the effects has prompted wide-ranging discussions on how to rebuild economies, education, health, and social protection systems the world over. Each crisis also provides an opportunity and the global development community is thus faced with the question: How to build back better? How to use the rupture of the pandemic to create more equitable, effective, and environmentally-sound systems and thus "recover forward"?
Dr. Jürgen Zattler, Director-General for International Development Policy; 2030 Agenda and Climate at the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, shares insight into opportunities for the World Bank and other multilateral organizations. Until 2020, Dr. Zattler represented Germany as Executive Director for the World Bank and his talk will equally shed light on the political processes at the World Bank to steer and influence the institution's consequential activities.
The talk is moderated by Daniel Naujoks, director a.i., International Organization and UN Studies, SIPA
