In the fifth episode, Nancy Jacklin delves into the realm of multilateral banks that have a regional orientation, known as Regional Development Banks (RDBs). Although there are over 30 RDBs worldwide, this podcast will spotlight just three of these banks: the InterAmerican Development Bank, the African Development Bank, and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The guest for this session will be Nancy Lee, currently Director for Sustainable Development at the Center for Global Development and a former senior policy official in the US Government and in the IADB,  experienced in development issues. The discussion will highlight how these RDBs often mirror the operational model and objectives of the World Bank but also how each has its unique character.
