THE PEOPLE’S STORY
healthy gender balance, with 55 percent male and 45 percent female staff overall and near parity at the professional level. While we continue to push for more women in senior management, we’re proud of the progress we’ve made compared to many other multilateral development banks. Our generational mix is equally diverse and dynamic: 47 percent of our staff are Millennials (born 1981-1996), 44 percent Gen X (1965-1980), 6 percent Baby Boomers (1946-1964) and 3 percent Gen Z (1997-2012). This blend of experience and energy has built a unique internal culture that values both innovation and institutional knowledge. This balance between experience and fresh perspectives is one of our greatest strengths. We’re also evolving how we work. Our upcoming People Strategy will serve as a roadmap for the entire organization. It defines shared goals, responsibilities and key performance indicators to ensure we build an inclusive, future-ready workplace.
“The blend of experience and energy has built a unique internal culture that values both innovation and institutional knowledge.”
