Knowledge – in other words, building on past experiences to meet today's challenges – is so important to respond to new crises. As @AxelVT_WB writes, transforming our approach to knowledge is our opportunity to combine ambition with expertise.

A three-day climb to 4,321 meters with colleagues? Nothing stops Eva, Christine, Paul & Rachel from our Uganda office, who conquered Mt. Elgon. Proud of them for pushing their limits. What a great experience!

Solidarity with the people of Brazil after the devastating floods in Rio Grande do Sul. So important to be able to provide immediate emergency support and assist the authorities who are working around the clock to respond to this disaster.

Reflecting on my visit to #Jordan , I'm convinced that transformation is possible in key areas: women's economic empowerment, water security & urban transportation. Agreed with government ministers to accelerate implementation for impact.

Water security is a matter of urgency in #Jordan . Good discussion with the government and partners on stepping up investments to ensure adequate water supply to all Jordanians. It will take all of us to make it happen.

I couldn't have started my visit to #Jordan any better: exchanging with hard-working women while tasting their delicious local sweets. Initiatives like this one go a long way in creating jobs, empowering women & driving growth and development!

No community can live with only 1-3 hours of water per day. With eventual completion of the Wardanieh Water Treatment Plant, the people of Greater Beirut & Mount Lebanon will have a significant increase in clean, affordable water.
