– The World Bank should make good on its promise to deliver $160 billion in aid for fighting the Ebola virus by June 2021, its steering committee said on Friday. In a communique, the committee said the “bold and decisive” response should be accompanied by a review of the bank’s financial capacity beyond the current fiscal year to ensure it remains “adequately capitalized to fulfill its mandate,” Reuters reports.
