No single organization can act alone to help countries reduce their challenges of living amid fragility, conflict and violence.  The World Bank’s partnerships with humanitarian, peacebuilding, security, and private sector agencies are critical for maximizing impact on the ground.  By working in a coordinated approach, partners and the World Bank are making a difference together. 

The World Bank’s recently published Mid-term Review of the Strategy on Fragility, Conflict and Violence (FCV) reiterated the commitment to its “mission-driven” partnership approach.  Strengthening partnerships in areas that are outside the World Bank’s comparative advantage is especially important, and it remains central to the FCV Strategy’s implementation. 

 

As children and families face an array of complex and overlapping crises, UNICEF is working together with the World Bank to deliver life-saving support to those who need it most. Catherine Russell, Executive Director, UNICEF discusses how in Yemen, UNICEF and the World Bank have worked together since 2017 through a joint emergency crises response program providing essential support to vulnerable families.
