From Lalit K JhaWashington, Oct 8 (PTI) The USD 1 billion ambitious Swachh Bharat Rural Sanitation Project in India is an adaptation of a similar successful programme of Egypt, World Bank President Jim Yong Kim has said while citing this as an example of sharing of global best practices. He stated that the World Bank has successfully transferred knowledge and experience across regions. "Through our new structure of Global Practices, knowledge sharing across countries has become easier and faster. Citing another Indian example, Kim said he is encouraged by the work that the World Bank is doing now to crowd in private sector investment. The firm is acquiring a portfolio of toll roads in India, injecting much- needed funds for road developers to complete their projects," the World Bank President said.
