Programme


Established in 1944, the World Bank Group is headquartered in Washington, D.C. with more than 10,000 employees in more than 120 offices worldwide. Since inception in 1944, the World Bank has expanded from a single institution to a closely associated group of five development institutions. Its mission has evolved from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) as facilitator of post-war reconstruction and development to the present-day mandate of worldwide poverty alleviation in close coordination with the International Development Association, and other members of the World Bank Group: the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the Multilateral Guarantee Agency (MIGA), and the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID).

The World Bank Group has set two goals for the world to achieve by 2030: End extreme poverty by decreasing the percentage of people living on less than $1.90 a

day to no more than 3%

Promote shared prosperity by fostering the income growth of the bottom 40% of every country

The World Bank Group's Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) for Pakistan for FY2015-19 was formulated after an extensive, nation-wide consultation process that included a diverse group of national stakeholders. The strategy is structured to help the country tackle its most difficultbut potentially transformationalchallenges in order to reach these twin goals of poverty reduction and shared prosperity. The four strategic pillarsresults areasof the CPS are anchored in the Governments framework of 4Es: Energy, Economy, Extremism and Education; and articulated in the initial priorities of the upcoming Vision 2025. As of February 28, 2015, Pakistan's portfolio consisted of 21 active projects with a total commitment of $4.4 billion. The Bank manages a Multi-Donor Trust Fund for conflict affected areas of about $183 million, which provides grants to KP, FATA and Balochistan. In addition, the Bank maintains an extensive and ongoing analytic work program on a wide range of economic and sector-specific topics.


Dr. Jim Yong KimPresident The World Bank Group

@JimKim_WBG

Jim Yong Kim, M.D., Ph.D., became the 12th President of the World Bank Group on July 1, 2012. A physician and anthropologist, Dr. Kim has dedicated himself to international development for more than two decades, helping to improve the lives of underserved populations worldwide.

Born in 1959 in Seoul, South Korea, Dr. Kim moved with his family to the United States at the age of five and grew up in Muscatine, Iowa. Dr. Kim graduated with an A.B. magna cum laude from Brown University in 1982. He earned an M.D. from Harvard Medical School in 1991 and a Ph.D. in anthropology from Harvard University in 1993

Dr. Kim comes to the Bank after serving as President of Dartmouth College, a preeminent center of higher education that consistently ranks among the top academic institutions in the United States. While at Dartmouth, Dr. Kim earned praise for reducing a financial deficit without cutting and academic programs. Dr. Kim also founded the Dartmouth Center for Health Care Delivery Science, a multidisciplinary institute dedicated to developing new models of health care delivery and achieving better health outcomes at lower costs. Before assuming the Dartmouth presidency, Dr. Kim held professorships and chaired departments at Harvard Medical School, the Harvard School of Public Health and Brigham and Womens Hospital, Boston. He also served as director of Harvards Franois-Xavier Bagnoud Center for Health and Human Rights.

In 1987, Dr. Kim cofounded Partners in Health, a Boston based nonprofit organization now working in poor communities on 4 continents. Challenging previous conventional wisdom that drug resistant tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS could not be treated in developing countries, PIH successfully tackled these diseases by integrating large scale treatment programs into community based primary care facilities.

As Director of the World Health Organizations HIV/AIDS Department, Dr. Kim led the 3 by 5 initiative, the first-ever global goal for AIDS treatment, which sought to treat 3 million new HIV/AIDS patients in developing countries with antiretroviral drugs by 2005. Launched in September 2003, the ambitious program ultimately reached its goal by 2007.

Dr. Kims work has earned him wide recognition. He was awarded a MacArthur Genius Fellowship (2003), was named one of Americas 25 Best Leaders by U.S. News & World Report (2005), and was selected as one of Forbes magazines 100 Most Influential People in the World (2015).


In 1955, using the borrowed premises of a YMCA Hall in Saddar, a small business school was established with funding donated by the first USAID Program in Pakistan. The academic programs at this new school were developed with initial technical support from the Wharton School of Finance, and then later with additional advice and help from the University of Southern California. Six decades later, IBA is a force to be reckoned with. Throughout its short history, IBA has zealously guarded the high standards and academic traditions it inherited from Wharton and USC, even while adapting and adjusting these to the local environment.

With the visionary leadership of its most recent Dean & Director, Dr. Ishrat Husain, the IBA has attained new heights. With two fully refurbished campuses, the institute today employs over one hundred full-time faculty members, and is credited with the largest number of teaching PhD faculty in Pakistan. The IBA offers academic programs that cover a range of professional and academic fields of study, and has instituted a series of community outreach initiatives that have made an international standard of education available to the underprivileged in Pakistan.

The IBA is consistently ranked as one of the top business schools in South Asia, thereby establishing its programs as benchmarks against which both national and regional institutions must measure their own achievements. It has nurtured an enabling environment, conducive to scholarship and research, for generations of students. Through the use of innovative pedagogical strategies, students are encouraged to develop a complex understanding of business concepts and issues, to think independently, to assume positions of leadership, and to make ethical choices.

In the last 60 years, IBA has produced more than 13,000 alumni, many of whom hold top management positions in both for-profit and non-profit corporations. Some have founded and run think tanks that develop viable solutions to some of Pakistans toughest economic and social issues. A few have entered politics, and guided by the values they learned while at the Institute, have governed this country well. One currently serves as our President. IBA has taught them all how to embrace challenges, how to strive for excellence, how to think creatively and deliberately, how to serve as leaders, developing ideas that will help build a better tomorrow.


Dr. Ishrat Husain

Dr. Ishrat Husain received his MS in Development Economics from Williams College and his PhD in Economics from Boston University in 1978. He is also a graduate of the Executive Development Program jointly sponsored by Harvard University, Stanford University, and INSEAD.

Dr. Husain currently serves as the Dean & Director of the Institute of Business Administration, Karachi. From 2006-2008 he served as the Chairman, National Commission for Government Reforms with the status of a federal minister reporting directly to both the President and the Prime Minister of Pakistan.

Previous to this, he served as the Governor of Pakistans central bank for six years, and instituted a series of reforms that have been hailed by the World Bank and the IMF to be among the best in developing countries. As a member of the economic management team of the government, he played a key role in the impressive economic turnaround Pakistan experienced during his tenure. And in recognition of his service to the country, in 2003 the President of Pakistan conferred upon him the Hilal-e-Imtiaz.

Before returning to Pakistan, Dr. Husain spent two decades at the World Bank in Washington, DC. Among the key positions he held at the bank include Resident Representative to Nigeria, head of the banks Debt and International Finance Division, Chief Economist for Africa, and the Chief Economist for East Asia and the Pacific. He served as the banks Director of Poverty and Social Policy Department, and in 1997 was named Country Director for the Central Asian Republics.

In addition to his responsibilities at the IBA, Dr. Husain currently serves as the Convener for the Economic Advisory Council, Ministry of Finance, and a Member of the Advisory Council to the Minister of Planning, Development, and Reforms. In recognition of his long record of public service and his tireless efforts on to promote education, in 2015 the Government of Pakistan conferred upon Dr. Husain the Nishan-e-Imtiaz, Pakistans highest civilian honor.
