Behind the Mission: Disabilities and Inclusion at the World Bank Group

Описание: In our Behind the Mission series, staff share tips, best practices, and answer questions about working in international development and at the World Bank Group—a global institution with 189 member countries, staff from more than 170 countries, and offices in over 130 locations. This specific episode, airing ahead of International Day of Persons with Disabilities on December 3, will focus on two colleagues who have not just overcome their disabilities, but have flourished in their careers at the World Bank Group. Charlotte Vuyiswa McClain-Nhlapo, our Global Disability Adviser at the World Bank Group, and Carole Megevand, Sector Leader for Sustainable Development for the Maghreb countries, based in Morocco, will share their stories and insights with us on the topic of disability and inclusion at the Bank Group.
