Welcome to Behind the Mission, the World Bank Group’s series on LinkedIn where we discuss current career opportunities and hear from staff about their experiences.

To mark the upcoming International Women's Day, today’s episode is about Women Empowering Women. To achieve our twin goals of ending poverty and boosting shared prosperity, the World Bank must close the gender gap in developing countries. But how do ensure that the women who work here feel supported in their careers and achieve work-life balance? Tune in with Monica Oldham, Manager of the Diversity and Inclusion Office at the World Bank Group, and Caren Grown, Senior Director for Gender at the World Bank Group. They are here to talk about how the World Bank supports female staff, share their personal stories and give their advice on working at the World Bank Group.
