“Racism exists everywhere, including the World Bank Group, so having a 360 degree perspective of where and how changes can be made so people feel welcome to work at this institution is paramount.”
- Daryl Lucas
Race is a key component to the diversity, equity, and inclusion agenda at the World Bank Group. As February is Black History Month in the U.S., this episode of Behind the Mission is about Race and Inclusion at the World Bank Group.
During this show, we talk with two leaders from the World Bank, Daryl Lucas and Nadine Chapman, who will share their stories, insights and the work that the Bank is doing to address racism and create opportunities for racial minorities, including African Americans. They’ll also share some helpful tips on navigating a successful career at the World Bank Group.
