00:02 Being in the Middle East and North Africa at the time of the Arab Spring

00:07 was not only a time of awakening for me but also

00:12 gave me this sense of hopelessness of creating change and reform

00:18 in a way that really impacts people.

00:20 The World Bank

00:22 has a seat at the table

00:25 when it comes to conversations about shared prosperity for all things that

00:30 really matter not only for this generation but for generations to come,

00:34 and I think that this is one of the main reasons why I'm at the World Bank today.

00:39 My name is Dela Almosa and I'm an economist in the Young Professionals program.

00:45 I'm personally someone who is very interested in the role

00:49 of governments and in their ability and potential for reform,

00:53 and this is a conversation that is not always easy to have,

00:55 but the World Bank,

00:57 it gives a lot of freedom,

00:59 a lot of

01:00 liberty to not only

01:03 be part of impact,

01:05 but also

01:06 potentially design

01:08 that impact as you become.

01:11 More and more advanced

01:12 and the young professionals program I think is

01:15 a program that gives you also the liberty to

01:18 be part of the projects that you want to be part of

01:21 for me it's a place that

01:23 seems

01:24 to really care about

01:26 the work that you do and and how invested you are in the work that you do.

01:33 That is in fact one of the most

01:36 interesting parts of the young professionals program

01:38 is that it allows you

01:40 the opportunity to change not only in terms of the regional

01:45 focus but also in terms of the theme or the global practices

01:49 in a way it's a more holistic view of development as well.

01:53 Not looking at development from one angle only

01:55 it is looking at it from multiple angles

01:58 and you can bring that experience from one angle to the other

02:01 and in that path you learn more also about

02:05 how you can create impacts

02:07 better and more meaningfully on the ground.
