Behind every reform is a person whose life can change because opportunity reaches them. The challenge is not only creating solutions, but helping them travel further. That is the ambition behind how we share and apply knowledge across the @WorldBankGroup.
Strong primary healthcare is the foundation of better health outcomes.
During his visit to #Egypt, @WorldBankGroup's @Paschald visited primary healthcare facilities in Ismailia to see Egypt's Universal Health Insurance System in action.

Our @WorldBankGroup support to #Yemen over the next 5 years will focus on livelihoods and jobs. Amid fragility and uncertainty, partners must get together to support building Yemen's future.

Across 190 economies, Women, Business and the Law reveals a stark gap between laws and reality:
➡️ 67/100 on laws
➡️ 53 on enforcement
➡️ 47 on systems and services
The result? Persistent opportunity gaps, lower productivity, and slower growth.
