Less than six months into his job at the helm of the World Bank, Paul Wolfowitz has announced that tackling poverty and deprivations in Africa is going to be the World Bank's top priority. "I think the situation of sub-Saharan Africa is not acceptable. It has to be the first priority of the World Bank," he told members of the Parliamentary Network on the World Bank (PNoWB) meeting at the Finnish Parliament over the weekend. However, Wolfowitz added that the efforts of the World Bank and the development community must be supplemented by African leaders in order to achieve rapid results.
