The coronavirus pandemic wreaked havoc around the world and dealt a major setback to 
decades of development outcomes. Last spring, we successfully championed a moratorium on debt for the world’s poorest countries and launched a fast, broad-based response to COVID-19. We are financing emergency operations in over 111 countries – home to 70% of the global population- which has been the largest and fastest crisis response in the World Bank Group’s history.
We’ve got you covered! Here’s a checklist that you can use to enhance your experience this year. So, start planning. 
decades of development outcomes.
