Modifying the venerable 78-year-old institution’s mission statement to incorporate sustainability objectives is an important achievement for its new president. Joy Macknight reports.
Even before officially taking up the role as 14th president of the World Bank, Ajay Banga embarked on a world tour to gain first-hand knowledge of what is happening on the ground in many of the bank’s 189 member countries.
