Proud to be part of this great partnership between @WorldBank and the Government of Poland they protected lives and property of 15 million Poles through investment in flood protection infrastructure over the past 25 years

With over 150,000 km of rivers, Poland is vulnerable to flooding, as seen in September 2024. Learn how, with @WorldBank support, Poland built the Racibórz Dolny dry polder that helped protect millions of people across the country's south last fall: wrld.bg/eSbS50UIAB7

Job creation for youth is Uzbekistan's main priority; 500,000 youth enter the labor force every year. Skills development and improving the enabling environment for entrepreneurship are critical areas of Government support
Anna Bjerde@bjerde_anna

Creating jobs—especially for young people—takes more than growth. It takes reform, investment and delivery. I spoke with Uzbekistan’s Deputy PM @KuchkarovJA about how sector‑focused reforms are driving private sector growth & jobs. Our full conversation: youtu.be/vppQcsH0-cs?si…

Proud to be involved in such transformational @WorldBankGroup project, a 25-year partnership with the Polish Govt, saving lives, protecting property & infrastructure. Raciborz dry polder spared 15 million Lower Silesia residents spared the devastating impact of 2024 floods
Anna Bjerde@bjerde_anna

Today I saw the Racibórz Dolny polder, a @WorldBankGroup-backed project that helped protect Wrocław & other communities during the 2024 floods. Smart resilience investments and thoughtful urban planning are essential to protecting lives, homes & businesses in Poland and beyond.

I was really impressed with agribusiness entrepreneurship in the Kyrgyz Republic, judging by the aggregators I saw in dairy, fruits & vegetables processing in my trip to Osh region. Like Maksat, they created forward & backward linkages supporting 100s of farming & processing jobs

Maksat purchased a dough mixer, freezers, and more for his new dumpling factory thanks to a @WBG_IDA-backed project. See how supporting small businesses in the Kyrgyz Republic is creating jobs and opportunity for communities like Min-Bulak village: wrld.bg/W2uI50YbEmf

Since 1985, 13,300 km² of new settlements in Europe and Central Asia were built in flood zones—an area equal to over 30 medium-sized European cities. Urbanization without risk-informed planning locks in vulnerabilities for decades. Learn more here: wrld.bg/bpOX50WWH9v
