Ahead of the 2023 Annual Meeting, Makhtar Diop, the Managing Director and Executive Vice President of the International Finance Corporation (IFC), shares a special funding initiative designed to confront the food crisis, one that can also help address other issues including financial resilience for farmers and more sustainable practices for the climate. Success requires new forms of collaboration and drives home one of the key themes of this year's global conference in Davos, 'Cooperation in a fragmented world.' Diop also shares what gives him hope, what keeps him up at night, and what he hopes leaders will prioritise at this year's conference in Davos.
