Nearing 40 years of service to the Bank, he has seen many changes to the once-small institution he joined, but he views the Bank as heading in the right direction: “Increasingly we see the objective as working with countries,” rather than dictating their direction for them. ” 2 Pictures and Lessons of Development Practice Basil Kavalsky Gathering Experience COLOMBO, SRI LANKA, June 1966, the office of the head of the Planning Ministry. I am on my first Bank mission, and the team is reviewing the foreign exchange budget.

They have secured this choice position through a payment to the minister’s private secretary and are not about to move, so they remain in the room throughout our meeting with the minister. After the mission I am asked to draft a note to the Bank’s Board of Executive Directors submitting a project document, and I state the obvious fact that corruption is by far the country’s most serious economic issue.
