Saber leer es la base de todo lo que una persona puede aprender, lograr y ser. Sin esa habilidad, las puertas de la educación, el trabajo y la vida plena se cierran desde temprano. En América Latina y el Caribe, 7 de cada 10 estudiantes termina la primaria sin alcanzar el nivel mínimo de comprensión lectora. Las causas son varias, pero una de ellas poco se nombra: en muchas aulas no se enseña a leer con el método adecuado.
Tenemos el gusto de invitarle a la presentación del reporte: "Enseñanza Eficaz de la Lectura en Países de Ingresos Bajos y Medios: Lo que Muestra la Evidencia", elaborado por un equipo internacional de expertos y respaldado por el GEEAP. Basado en 151 estudios en más de 167 idiomas, que muestra con precisión qué funciona para que los niños aprendan a leer.
Súmate a esta conversación que reúne a autores del reporte y a líderes educativos de Inglaterra, Brasil y Colombia, junto con una perspectiva regional, para conectar la evidencia con decisiones concretas de política pública en la región. Aprende de experiencias reales que demuestran que el cambio es posible, y que este es el momento de actuar.
Poner fin a la crisis de lectura no es un misterio: es una cuestión de decisión.

When we think about the future of the oceans, we tend to look out to sea: the vessels, the nets, the catch, the waves. Yet an essential part of the ocean economy also takes place on land — on docks, in markets, in processing plants, in community associations, and in the households where the daily lives of coastal communities are sustained.

Resilience built to last: countries turning adaptation into everyday practice Guangzhe Chen June 09, 2026 This page in: English Français Español 中文 © 2026 World Bank Group,
https://blogs.worldbank.org/en/voices/resilience-built-to-last-countries-turning-adaptation-into-every
Climate adaptation is often treated as tomorrow’s problem. Adaptation means building resilience into the physical, natural, and human capital countries rely on to create jobs, deliver services, and protect people. With 1.2 billion young people entering the workforce in developing economies over the next decade, the ability of countries to protect and improve livelihoods depends on whether those systems can withstand the pressures climate change is already placing on them.

What are frontier markets — and why do they matter now? In this episode of Expert Answers, Ayhan Kose, Deputy Chief Economist of the World Bank Group, explains what defines frontier markets, why growth and investment have slowed, and what policy priorities can help unlock jobs and more durable growth. We’ll look at the frontier markets that have done well and what we can learn from their success.
Frontier Market Economies: Promise, Performance, and Prospects English | Arabic | Chinese | French | Japanese | Portuguese | Russian | Spanish © 2026 World Bank Group,
https://www.worldbank.org/en/research/publication/frontier-markets
Frontier markets—a subset of emerging market and developing economies characterized by meaningful but limited access to international financial markets—have considerable promise. Already home to one-fifth of the world’s population, but only 5 percent of its output, today’s frontier markets are projected to account for most of the global population increase to 2050. Many frontier markets have large natural resource endowments. Relative to other developing economies, they also have more physical capital, healthier and better-educated workforces, and stronger institutions. Access to international markets provides financing opportunities. Outcomes in frontier markets will be pivotal for global job creation and development progress.
As a group, frontier markets’ economic outcomes since 2000 have not fully delivered on this promise, however. Per capita output and investment growth in the median frontier market halved between the 2000s and the early 2020s. Poverty reduction progress has slowed. Financial openness has increased, and frontier markets’ share of global capital flows has risen, but financial integration remains partial. Surges in capital inflows support growth but are often followed by disruptive stops. Although sovereign debt maturities have increased, the composition of frontier markets’ debt implies vulnerabilities. Around 40 percent of frontier markets have defaulted since 2000. In the five years from 2020, frontier markets experienced more defaults than all other economies combined.
To capitalize on frontier markets’ potential, a multi-faceted policy approach is required. Some frontier markets have fared better than others, and faster-growing frontier markets since 2000 share some key features: stronger investment growth, more improved institutions, and better-contained government debt. Advancing financial integration while improving oversight capacity, developing local financial markets, and enhancing policy buffers can help harness investment; expanding and diversifying exports can support resilience and development. Bolstering macroeconomic stability and enhancing policy credibility can provide a platform for effective financial integration. Catalyzing investment and productivity growth, including via strong foundational infrastructure, is essential to helping frontier markets capitalize on their market access, demographic potential, and resource endowments.

Navigating a Cloudy Outlook © 2026 The World Bank Group, This page in:English Español Русский 中文 Português العربية
https://www.worldbank.org/en/publication/global-economic-prospects
As the Middle East conflict drives sharp energy price increases, global growth is projected to slow to 2.5 percent in 2026, with emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs) facing the weakest per capita income growth since the pandemic. Risks remain skewed to the downside and include escalating hostilities, further commodity market disruptions, and additional geopolitical strains, while broader AI adoption offers some upside. Policy action is critical: globally to safeguard energy and food security and advance the energy transition, and domestically to control inflation, strengthen fiscal sustainability, and support job creation. Rising debt is driving up EMDE borrowing costs, particularly for those most indebted, underscoring the need for stronger revenue mobilization and improved debt management. For commodity exporters, building fiscal resilience will also require strong institutional frameworks and revenue diversification.

Le nouveau rideau de fer

En 1946, Londres prévoyait de bombarder nucléairement l’Union soviétique tout en dénonçant le « rideau de fer » qui s’était abattu sur l’Europe. Quatre-vingt ans plus tard, Londres prévoit d’attaquer en profondeur la Russie et dénonce « l’invasion » russe de l’Ukraine. Nous reproduisons les mêmes erreurs que celles de nos parents.

Pourquoi l’Iran remporte sa guerre asymétrique contre deux puissances nucléaires supérieures entre les États-Unis et Israël, selon Arreguin-Toft
par Alfredo Jalife-Rahme
Il est d’usage de mépriser la manière dont les faibles mènent des guerres et de les qualifier de terroristes. Pourtant, dans le cas de l’Iran contre les États-Unis, ce sont ces derniers qui sont vaincus. Mais le parallèle ne s’arrête pas là. À la différence du Viet Nâm d’Ho Chi Minh, l’Iran ne se satisfait pas de sa victoire : il tente de faire triompher sa révolution en obligeant les États du golfe, puis ceux d’Occident, de reconnaître leur dépendance aux crimes des États-Unis.

Phase « financière » délicate du détroit d’Ormuz : les États-Unis refusent de verser des réparations de guerre à l’Iran
par Alfredo Jalife-Rahme
Les négociations de paix entre les États-Unis et l’Iran ne butent pas sur la question nucléaire, ni sur la liberté de circulation dans le détroit d’Hormuz, mais sur les réparations de guerre. Ce n’est pas tant sur leur montant que sur la reconnaissance qu’elles impliquent de la victoire iranienne. La solution serait peut être de les faire payer par l’intermédiaire des États arabes du golfe, plutôt que directement par les États-unis. C’est tout au moins la proposition sino-pakistanaise.

Socialism Is Slow to Mature
By Vijay Prashad
While the capitalist system rewards short-term cycles, building a dignified future is a slow task that requires disciplined organisation and an enduring struggle to bring forth the social forces of a new world.
https://www.ipsnews.net/2026/05/socialism-is-slow-to-mature/
In 1921, a few years into the Soviet experiment, V. I. Lenin published an essay with the revealing title ‘New Times and Old Mistakes in a New Guise’. The essay opened a line of inquiry that would remain with Lenin until the end of his life three years later. What captivated him was the issue of how to build socialism in a country ravaged by war, with minimal capital at its disposal, a largely peasant society with high rates of illiteracy (around 70%), and no public administration capable of running a socialist-oriented state. In the essay, Lenin reflected:

NEW YORK, Jun 10 2026 (IPS) - Martin Luther King Jr. , when he received the Nobel Peace Prize, reminded us of “The fact that most of the time human beings put the truth about the nature and risks of the nuclear war out of their minds because it is too painful and therefore not ‘acceptable’, does not alter the nature and risks of such war. The device of ‘rejection’ may temporarily cover up anxiety, but it does not bestow peace of mind and emotional security.” I have devoted many decades of my life to not ignoring the risk of nuclear annihilation and since 1995 have attended every Review Conference of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty to learn and hopefully contributed to a saner safer world.

UNITED NATIONS, Jun 10 2026 (IPS) - Over the past few years, the humanitarian crisis in Africa’s Sahel region has expanded considerably, largely driven by a surge of violence—particularly in the Central Sahel. Although the crisis has been described by the United Nations (UN) as having “largely faded from the headlines” since its wake in 2012, millions of people across the region are in dire need of humanitarian assistance as civilian displacement, climate shocks, and widespread hunger rapidly spill across borders.

PUNE, India, Jun 10 2026 (IPS) - Dharashiv is one of the poorest districts in the western Indian state of Maharashtra. Located in the semi-arid region of Marathwada, it has no major river and is not blessed with good reservoirs.
The soil quality is poor and unable to retain water, even during heavy rainfall. Farmers depend on borewells and wells. Farm ponds go dry beyond February, leaving farmers bereft. The groundwater level is always low for most of the year. Generally rural, with agriculture as its mainstay, Dharashiv is mostly made up of landholdings averaging 4-5 acres. Rural unemployment is high, and large numbers of able-bodied men and women migrate to towns during the lean seasons.

SAMARKAND, Uzbekistan, Jun 10 2026 (IPS) - As ministers, diplomats and development officials assembled in Samarkand Congress Centre for a ceremonial family photograph, the mood carried unusual symbolism. Behind the smiles and formalities stood a region confronting a harder reality: rivers are shrinking, soils are tiring, temperatures are rising, and the old ways of managing land and water are no longer working.

PERTH, Australia, Jun 11 2026 (IPS) - This planet’s biggest sporting event—the FIFA Men’s World Cup—will soon kick off. Millions of people around the world will sit up, bleary eyed, watching matches at unreasonable hours and inventing feeble excuses for why we won’t be at work in the morning. More than one billion are expected to watch the finale on TV in mid-July. That’s a bigger audience than any Olympic sporting event and more than the number of people who have viewed Squid Game on Netflix.

SAMARKAND, Uzbekistan, Jun 11 2026 (IPS) - The Global Environment Facility (GEF) has approved USD 6.4 million for a new conservation initiative in Papua New Guinea that seeks to protect 700,000 hectares of critical highland ecosystems by placing Indigenous Peoples and local communities at the centre of conserving and managing their ancestral lands.
Implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and with expected USD 16.7 million in co-financing, the project aims to strengthen biodiversity corridors, support peacebuilding and improve environmental management across protected and productive landscapes. It is expected to improve management effectiveness across more than 276,000 hectares of protected areas, extend sustainable environmental practices to 1.6 million hectares, directly benefit 21,000 people and avoid nearly one million tonnes of carbon emissions.

LONDON, Jun 10 2026 (IPS) - For a few days in May, Francesca Albanese could live more easily. On 13 May, a US federal judge ruled that sanctions the Trump administration imposed on her violated her right to free expression. The government was forced to remove the UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories from its sanctions list. But the reprieve lasted barely a week. On 27 May, after an appeals court suspended the ruling, the US Treasury restored sanctions.

NACIONES UNIDAS – En los últimos años, la crisis humanitaria en el Sahel africano se ha agravado considerablemente, impulsada en gran medida por un recrudecimiento de la violencia, especialmente en el Sahel Central. Aunque las Naciones Unidas han descrito la crisis como algo que «ha desaparecido en gran medida de los titulares» desde su inicio en 2012, millones de personas en toda la región necesitan urgentemente ayuda humanitaria, ya que el desplazamiento de la población civil, las crisis climáticas y el hambre generalizada se extienden rápidamente más allá de las fronteras.

Revuelta en Albania contra la captura de la isla Sazan por Affinity Partners, de Jared Kushner y Luis Videgaray
por Alfredo Jalife-Rahme
Las inversiones inmobiliarias de Jared Kushner, yerno del presidente Trump y negociador estadounidense en Ucrania y Oriente Medio, generan gran preocupación. Más allá del lavado de dinero y la corrupción de funcionarios locales, la verdadera pregunta es: ¿cuáles son las intenciones de la facción a la que pertenece?

Las relaciones de Donald Trump con Benyamin Netanyahu
por Thierry Meyssan
Durante la elección presidencial estadounidense robada de 2020, Donald Trump entendió quién es Benyamin Netanyahu. Desde aquella época, Trump y Netanyahu no están absolutamente nada en sintonía, a pesar de las apariencias. El presidente Trump dice querer implantar la paz en todos los lugares donde hay guerra, mientras que el primer ministro Netanyahu sigue adelante con su proyecto sionista revisionista (sin relación con el sionismo a secas de Theodor Hertzl) de conquista del Medio Oriente. La tenacidad iraní ha sacado a la luz las agendas de estos dos personajes y ha dado al traste con sus compromisos.

El 27 de mayo, después de que un tribunal de apelación suspendiera la sentencia, el Departamento del Tesoro restableció las sanciones.

World Bank Enables Corruption in Bangladesh

SYDNEY, Jun 9 2026 (IPS) - The World Bank considers corruption a major obstacle to eradicating global poverty. The Bank officially has a zero-tolerance policy against fraud and corruption in its projects. Concerned with widespread corruption in Bangladesh, the Bank and the Government agreed on the Governance-oriented Country Assistance Strategy (GCAS) in 2006 and the Bank’s subsequent Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) ostensibly has been more selective on governance and anti-corruption (GAC) issues. Ironically, however, the Bank’s funding enables corruption. The Bank’s recent decision to advance a US$350 million loan allegedly for enhancing energy security is a glaring example.

Germany’s humiliating defeat in the race for a UN Security Council seat reveals the price of a foreign policy increasingly seen as hypocritical abroad.
The United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday elected Austria, Kyrgyzstan, Portugal, Trinidad and Tobago and Zimbabwe to the 15-member U.N. Security Council for two-year terms starting on January 1, 2027.
Germany, which had lobbied hard for a seat, came third for the two places contested by the Western European and Others Group, with 104 votes, against 134 for Portugal and 131 for Austria.-- Reuters
BEIRUT, Lebanon, Jun 8 2026 (IPS) - This is the downfall of a diplomatic superstar. Germany’s defeat in the election to the UN Security Council is the consequence of a foreign policy that has proven disastrous in recent times, failing to uphold either the values or the interests of the Federal Republic.

LONDON, Jun 5 2026 (IPS) - Ahead of World Environment Day, the UN General Assembly made a vital commitment to protect people from climate impacts, adopting a resolution on the climate change obligations of states. The resolution follows up on the International Court of Justice (ICJ) advisory opinion issued last year, which found that states have a legal duty to prevent activities that cause environmental harm. Most states voted for the resolution despite a concerted campaign by the Trump administration to block it.

Many also say they carry the mercury-gold amalgam home and burn it in kitchens, exposing themselves and their families to toxic fumes that waft into the air.

President Cyril Ramaphosa on June 5 launched the roll-out in South Africa of lenacapavir, a twice-yearly injectable HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) drug that has been shown to offer almost complete protection against the disease, billing it as a ‘historic event’.

par Alfredo Jalife-Rahme
Il est d’usage de mépriser la manière dont les faibles mènent des guerres et de les qualifier de terroristes. Pourtant, dans le cas de l’Iran contre les États-Unis, ce sont ces derniers qui sont vaincus. Mais le parallèle ne s’arrête pas là. À la différence du Viet Nâm d’Ho Chi Minh, l’Iran ne se satisfait pas de sa victoire : il tente de faire triompher sa révolution en obligeant les États du golfe, puis ceux d’Occident, de reconnaître leur dépendance aux crimes des États-Unis.

Education is one of the most powerful drivers of growth and poverty reduction. Each year of schooling that a worker attains improves productivity and wages. But learning does not end at school; workers acquire a significant share of their skills through on-the-job learning.

South Asia opens up: How trade reforms impact households and sectors Hagen KruseFranziska Ohnsorge May 28, 2026 This page in: English © 2026 World Bank Group,
https://blogs.worldbank.org/en/trade/south-asia-trade-reforms-impact-households-and-sectors
Over the next decade, about 280 million people will come of working age in South Asia. The region needs a robust growth engine to create jobs for these labor market entrants. International trade emerges as a promising source to boost economic growth.
South Asia has long been the least open emerging market and developing economy (EMDE) region to global trade. In 2024, exports of goods represented only around 12 percent of GDP in South Asia—about half the share in other EMDEs. In part, this reflects the region’s exceptionally high import tariffs, with domestic manufacturing firms facing average tariffs on intermediate inputs that are more than double those in other EMDEs

If you were told your job is ending, would you rather receive more time to find a new job, or more money to cushion the landing to unemployment? Around the world, employment laws answer that question differently. Employment protection legislation shapes the reservation wage, search intensity, and financial capacity of displaced workers throughout the unemployment spell.
The B-READY 2025 data show that notice periods are highly standardized across income-based country groups, while severance pay varies substantially, especially among middle-income economies.

When we think about disasters, we often picture damaged buildings, flooded streets, or destroyed infrastructure. What is less visible, but just as devastating, is what happens to people’s jobs and livelihoods.
Our new global study covering 132 countries, Worldwide Job Losses Due to Natural Hazards, puts a number on these hidden costs. It finds that each year, disasters and extreme heat are associated with the loss of around 90 million full‑time job equivalents worldwide.
Every job lost or disrupted represents a worker losing income, a family struggling to make ends meet, a small business under strain and communities facing setbacks that can take years to overcome.

Their stories reflect a reality where jobs are on the front lines of climate volatility in the Caribbean. The sectors that drive employment — tourism, agribusiness, energy, and fisheries — draw their value directly from natural resources: healthy reefs, fertile soil, reliable rainfall, and productive coastal waters.

Fragility Forum 2026 Date & Time June 08 - 10, 2026 ET Location Washington D.C. & Online Sessions © 2026 World Bank Group,
Fragility Forum 2026
The Fragility Forum is a biennial World Bank Group event that brings global stakeholders together to share practical knowledge on operating in FCV contexts.
https://www.worldbank.org/en/events/2026/06/08/fragility-forum-2026?cid=ECR_E_NewsletterWeekly_EN_EXT&deliveryName=DM283285
The Fragility Forum 2026 (FF2026) takes place amid a rapidly evolving fragility, conflict, and violence (FCV) landscape. FCV affects countries at all levels of income with widespread effects on development and poverty reduction. In 2024, for the first time, FCV-affected countries accounted for over half of the people living in extreme poverty. Moreover, the decades-long global decline in extreme poverty is now projected to reverse by 2030 because of the growing number of extreme poor in FCV-affected countries.
In response to this evolving landscape, the World Bank Group (WBG) is refreshing its FCV Strategy to be more effective in FCV settings. Building on lessons learned, the Strategy identifies the need for strategic shifts towards better anticipation of FCV risks, stronger differentiation of development programming in accordance with the potential for lasting impact in different FCV settings, and more effective engagement on jobs in FCV. It also recognizes that the WBG will need to evolve its own systems and operations to enable these shifts.
Translating strategic ambition into lasting impact in FCV settings, however, ultimately depends on how effectively partners align their efforts, share knowledge, and coordinate action on the ground. FF2026 will provide an opportunity for the global community working on FCV to collectively reflect on how to best address rising FCV challenges in this evolving global landscape.

Why aggregate numbers fail Pakistan's out-of-school children Ayesha TahirAmer HasanKoen Geven June 04, 2026 This page in: English © 2026 The World Bank Group,
https://blogs.worldbank.org/en/developmenttalk/why-aggregate-numbers-fail-pakistan-s-out-of-school-children
Pakistan has roughly 25 million children between the ages of 5 and 16 who are not in school — the second largest out-of-school population in the world. However, this figure alone does not guide action. Policymakers need to know where these children are and why they are out of school.
Aggregate data do not explain whether these children lack access or face issues in attending nearby schools . And that matters a lot, because a child who lives two hours from the nearest school and a child who lives two blocks from three different schools but still isn't enrolled faces very different obstacles. One is a crisis of supply; the other a crisis of demand. For decades, local government officials have lacked the tools to tell these two problems apart.

Where a parent wants to work but businesses are closed. Now ask yourself: are these issues independent or cumulative? Is each one making the others worse? This is what this blog is about: the ways fragility, conflict, and violence interact to erode human capital across homes, neighborhoods, and workplaces.
