Memorandum World Bank and IMF Spring Meetings Side Event: Addressing Nexus Challenges in the World Bank’s Approach to Fragile, Conflict-Affected, and Vulnerable Settings

Earlier this month, thousands of delegates traveled to Washington for the annual World Bank and IMF Spring Meetings. In the face of significant financial and political uncertainty from the World Bank Group’s (WBG) largest shareholder, the United States, WBG leadership pressed ahead with a weeklong agenda focused on job creation and poverty reduction. Climate-focused events were less prominent on the official schedule, with discussions instead emphasizing the cascading effects of the energy transition, job creation, emerging markets, strategic investments in health and nutrition, and technology innovations.
