Resumen
Descripción
Jim Yong Kim, President of the World Bank, discussed the
partnership to promote
development, investment, and multilateral cooperation in
Africa. There are ample opportunities to
accelerate growth, productivity, and Africa’s economic
transformation. He pointed to four key things: first, close the large gap in
infrastructure -- in roads, energy, water, sanitation,
broadband, and transport; second, make agriculture
more productive; third, improve the fundamentals needed to
accelerate industrialization; and fourth, invest in
people – in health and education – which is increasingly vital in
the digital age. He believe the partnership will continue, and this
relationship will help millions of people lift themselves
out of poverty and realize opportunities for a better life.
