Abstract
Jim Yong Kim, President of the World Bank Group discusses conflicts that have caused a devastating amount
of violence and destruction, severely affecting the
livelihoods of millions of people, and creating
destabilizing effects at the global level. He talks about the World Bank Group's new strategy to support recovery and reconstruction efforts in the Middle East and North Africa. He speaks about blending grant resources
from donors with lending from multilateral development banks
in order to provide concessional-level financing to
middle-income countries that are hosting refugees. In
conclusion he said that we must work together to mobilize
support for the millions of children, women, and men who are
victims and hostages of war, and to demonstrate our common
commitment to help them survive these conflicts, and create
a better life once the guns fall silent.
