My name is Michael Jarvis, and I'm the executive director of the Transparency and Accountability Initiative. We are a funder collaborative committed to a world where people are informed and empowered, governments are open and responsive, and the public good is enhanced through collective action. Our members have over $500 million in active grants supporting transparency, participation, and accountability efforts all around the globe. Given today's context of poly crises, limited trust between governments and citizens, and the challenge of overcoming vested interests. We believe that governance is core to making effective solutions. Therefore, our members are committed to partner with the World Bank on the governance and institutions program. We see it as one path to strengthen multi-stakeholder collaboration. To support citizen engagement and to scale proven tools such as beneficial ownership disclosure. We hope that the partnership yields new insights on how to rebuild the social contract. And to foster accountability at national and local levels. We hope it encourages innovative engagement of civil society partners in projects. Especially in sub-Saharan Africa. And we hope to explore and act upon the potential to leverage complementarity between philanthropic partners and the World Bank Group. Together we can better support country reform and assure that. Public resources are used in response to citizen needs. Thank you.
