Remarks by Jeffrey Katz World Bank

Abstract

Remarks by Jeffrey Katz World Bank at the African Governance Report African Development Forum October 12, 2004. Mr. Katz, on his remarks highlighted that, The Africa Region of the World Bank has put governance as one of the four key pillars of our strategy for assisting development in Africa. Governance issues also cut across the other three pillars of human development, promoting growth, and partnerships that are more effective. The leadership in making the necessary reforms in all these governance dimensions, including in the control of corruption and the enhancement of transparency and accountability, must be African. The World Bank is committed to be a better partner in Africa, particularly in providing whatever we support we can to improve governance on the continent.
