- From a 115% increase in their contributions to the International Development Association (IDA) to inspiring other countries to join as donors, Croatia's story is one of transformation and bridge-building. After 40 years, World Bank Vice President Akihiko Nishio returns to Croatia to discover how the country has become a champion of global solidarity. This deeply personal story connects the legacy of basketball legend and diplomat Krešimir Ćosić—who embodied the spirit of helping others without expecting anything in return—to modern Croatia's role in supporting 78 low-income countries. Through the eyes of Ćosić's daughter Ana and the principles he lived by, we see how a nation that once needed support is now ensuring others get that same chance.
