Ms Joy Phumaphi is leaving her position at The World Bank to return to her home country Botswana. She also leaves, regrettably, the Board's Chair. On behalf of The Partnership we would like to express our gratitude to Mrs Phumaphi for her dedication and commitment to The Partnership and its work. The Partnership would like also to welcome Dr Julian Schweitzer as Interim Chair of the Board. Dr Schweitzer has kindly accepted this role until the selection process for a new Chair has been completed.
