While usually during the summer period news is expected to slow down, it was certainly not the case for the first couple of days of June. As the unexpected struggle to reauthorize PEPFAR continues and we mark the beginning of a new era at the World Bank with Ajay Banga’s presidency, the start of the month has most definitely been eventful.

From discussing what to expect from Banga’s presidency to a deep dive into a two-month investigation concerning the Africa CDC president Dr Jean Kaseya, we review the week’s top stories in the latest episode of This Week in Global Development.

For this episode, Devex president and editor-in-chief, Raj Kumar, is joined by Devex managing editor Anna Gawel, as well as George Ingram, senior fellow at the The Brookings Institution.
