This will be an exploratory meeting to revitalize the HNP TG so that it better serves the HNP retirees and the WB Alumni who would like to know more about global health issues as well areas of many personal health challenges for retirees and senior citizens. Initial feedback suggests that the HNP TG could do a better job with regards to participation and areas of interest of both its HNP members and all retirees. Please see below the general responsibilities of the TGs in general.
Thematic Groups currently have three responsibilities:
– Organizing events (seminars, panels, etc.) which can be in-person, hybrid, or virtual events
– Facilitating networks and information exchange with WBG counterparts and professionals globally
– Writing or soliciting blog posts from members for our website (see Home Page bottom for examples). This is a relatively new but important feature that enables TG professional to communicate messages to our broader membership.
This meeting will seek feedback and discussion on what we could do in the above areas. A few members are keen to see a more cohesive group, connect with fellow retirees and current Bank staff and get to know about what the Bank currently does in the HNP areas, as well as what are the keys challenges in the global arena, and what are the kind of topics that are of interest to the WB alumni.
Panelists:
- Juan Pablo Uribe: Current Director HNP at the WB
- Ritva Reinikka: Former Director of Human Development for Africa, WB
- Olusoji Adeyi: Former Director of HNP at the WB
- Tawhid Nawaz: Former Acting Director of Human Development and Operations Advisor for Africa, WB; former Director of Program Management for WHO SEARO
