My name is Hiroshi Naka. I am a Professor at the Institute for Future Initiatives, University of Tokyo, and teach \u201cOperations of the World Bank Group\u201d at GraSPP (Graduate School of Public Policy).
\nThis class consists of 13 lectures, six of which will be taught by the World Bank Group (WBG) senior management. They teach online from Washington DC or Sri Lanka through the web (Webex).\u00a0 The six lectures cover the World Bank\u2018s development operations in East Asia and South Asia, operations of IFC (International Finance Corporations, a private sector arm of the WBG) and MIGA (Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency, a guarantee provider of the WGB), and operational challenges.
\nThese lectures are not limited to the registered students of GraSPP but are open to any students including undergraduate students of U-Tokyo and other universities. Even students of Kyoto University can access the lectures. The target audience is those who are interested in working for the World Bank or in development projects in the future.
