As Nelson MANDELA said, human capital or knowledge is the most powerful tool for changing the world. So, beyond the narrative, this document places the Office and the successive Executive Directors who have led it in the global context of the evolution of the world's largest development finance institution. It is also the story of how the Bank's concerns and priorities have evolved over time, reflecting those of its member States. It is also a look at how the world has evolved on economic and social issues over time.
