00:00 Rule of law,
00:01 justice,
00:01 and security are the vital elements of
00:04 the social infrastructure necessary for a sustained peace just like roads,
00:08 bridges,
00:09 and dams are necessary
00:10 for the physical infrastructure.
00:12 The World Bank is a vital player in enabling
00:16 there to be that concerted focus,
00:18 the kind of coordinated action.
00:20 Uh,
00:20 that is critical
00:22 to
00:23 ensure that citizens feel secure,
00:25 that they have confidence
00:27 in those vital institutions
00:29 providing.
00:31 Rule of law,
00:32 justice,
00:33 and security,
00:33 and I think
00:34 one of the key ways of doing this is by partnering
00:38 with diplomatic and security actors with a variety of bilateral institutions,
00:44 ensuring
00:45 that in a fragile environment there's a shared theory of the case
00:49 across these vital sectors
00:51 and across.
00:52 Many institutions that may be
00:54 operating there,
00:55 we reduce the cacophony
00:57 and the burdens
00:59 of a fragile state responding to a whole variety
01:03 of ideas and frameworks.
01:05 There's an enormous opportunity for development actors like
01:08 the World Bank to play a leading role
01:11 in rethinking how do we do development.
01:14 How do we do the kind of development that addresses the roots of fragility,
01:18 that broken social contract between a government and its people,
01:22 uh,
01:23 and do things differently.
