Organizer: World Bank Tokyo Development Learning Center (TDLC) and the World Bank Quality Infrastructure Investment (QII) Partnership
Context:
The World Bank Group considers investments in infrastructure development indispensable in achieving ending extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity on a livable planet.
In particular, the Quality of Infrastructure Investment (QII) plays an important role today in social inclusion, maximizing infrastructure's positive economic, environmental, social, and developmental impact and creating a virtuous circle of economic activities and enhancing access to basic services to meet human needs while ensuring sound public finances.
In this public online seminar, the World Bank Tokyo Development Learning Center (TDLC), in collaboration with QII Partnership, aims to demonstrate how infrastructure investment that incorporates social inclusion through universal design can help not only persons with disabilities and vulnerable people but also the whole society realize their full human potential.
