Responses: Soren Ambrose, Development Finance Coordinator, ActionAid International (World Bank)
I am only really able to respond to question number 2, and that is to say that I do not think that there is widespread understanding of the various programs available from the World Bank. I think the creation of the VFF in particular was a confusing exercise, and given the lack of response from donors, one that continues to obscure how the WBG is responding to the crises.
