We work with the other Executive Directors’ offices and with senior management of the World Bank Group to achieve its ambitious twin goals of (1) pushing extreme poverty to 3% by 2030, and (2) promoting shared prosperity (income growth of the bottom 40% of the population in each country).
At present, the Executive Director serves as a member of the Audit Committee, and Committee on Development Effectiveness. The office comprises staff from both donor and recipient countries and, thus, has unique insights into relevant problems from all development partners.
Our office staff comes from Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Hungary, Slovak Republic, Slovenia and Türkiye.
Nathalie Francken, from Belgium, is the current Executive Director.
