He said World Bank is committed to a program that will fast-track support to Kenya on Dadaab, adding that they are putting together a fund that blends International Development Association with grant funding to support refugees in developing countries. Kim said World Bank understands Kenya’s concerns on the Dadaab refugees and supports it’s approach in addressing the issue. “The World Bank is seeking to ensure that the focus of those discussions is not just on the impact of displacement on Europe but also on Kenya and other countries in the developing world,” Kim said. The Head of State also held talks with African Development Bank President Akinwumi Adesina that focused on private sector involvement in Kenya’s infrastructure development.
