[Peace-discuss] Conyers Urges Obama to Nominate Jeff Sachs to Lead the World Bank

[Robert Naiman]

President Obama has a historic opportunity to help reform the World
Bank, by nominating development expert Jeffrey Sachs to be the World
Bank's next president. Sachs has said that as president he would
sharpen the focus of the Bank on achieving the Millennium Development
Goals for reducing poverty and extending access to health care and
education. Coming from Sachs, this pledge is change you can believe
in, because for years Sachs has a leading international advocate of
efforts to achieve the world's poverty reduction goals, currently
serving as an adviser to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.

Now Members of Congress are starting to speak up.
