USAID
Today, Administrator Samantha Power met with the World Bank Executive Director for Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, and Sri Lanka Param Iyer to discuss coordination on several high-level development priorities, including USAID and the World Bank's work to mitigate the harmful effects of lead exposure.
As part of a broader discussion on how to deepen USAID-World Bank engagement in the region, the two discussed how USAID and the World Bank can work together on the recently launched Partnership for a Lead-Free Future, a USAID and UN-led initiative to end childhood lead poisoning in low- and middle-income countries, including finding opportunities for improved donor coordination, resource mobilization, and technical assistance.
