Published: 2nd July 2013

This week marks one year in office for Jim Yong Kim as president of the World Bank.

Raymond Offenheiser, President of Oxfam America said:

"Jim Kim has declared his intent to re-focus the World Bank on ending poverty and tackling inequality, a clear and noble vision. Yet, Kim’s success or failure will hinge on real results—whether he can mobilize the World Bank to deliver positive change for the poorest in the world."
