We echo World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim on congratulating Colombia upon a successful Peace signing. Read what it means for development:


Congratulations to Colombia on a historic peace signing. The post-conflict era will bring challenges, but it will also be a period of opportunity to make progress on inclusive growth and to address extreme poverty.

The World Bank Group has been working with Colombia to build a development strategy that will benefit the poor and help country take advantage of the possibilities that come with peace. The post-conflict development agenda will remain central to our partnership, and we’re ready to support the country’s efforts to strengthen development—from social mobility to territorial development to productivity and macroeconomic policy. wrld.bg/1oC3304Amr8
