Areas of work also included the Millennium Devel- opment Goals, cooperatives, Islamic finance, migration, public-private partnerships, financial inclusion, as well as guidance and support on the World Bank's World Development Reports. Mohieldin also served as the World Bank deputy to the G20. In January 2013, he became the pres- ident's special envoy on the Millen- nium Development Goals, the Post-2015 Development Agenda, and Financing for Development. His primary responsibilities were to act as the focal point on discussions re- lated to the post-2015 agenda (later, the sustainable development goals), to support the framing of the agenda, support acceleration of the MDGs, and improve coordination with the Multilateral Development Banks. A key initiative was the adoption of an MDG acceleration framework by the UN Chief Executives Board (CEB), which was rooted in enhanced col- laboration between all agencies to address key bottlenecks in selected countries. His work also entailed strengthening the relationship be- tween the World Bank and the United Nations. In April 2014, in addition to his re- sponsibilities as the president's spe- cial envoy, he was appointed as corporate secretary and executive secretary to the development com- mittee of the World Bank Group's board of governors. As corporate sec- retary, Mohieldin's role was to act as the key interlocutor between the management of the World Bank and the board of executive directors. During his tenure, he managed and ensured the success of several impor- tant decisions, including the 2015 shareholding review, the fast-track approval of loans related to Ebola, as well as the implementation of re- forms. In January 2016, he took on his cur- rent role of senior vice president for the 2030 development agenda, UN Relations and Partnerships. This in- cludes overseeing the World Bank offices in New York and Geneva. His unit is responsible for representing the World Bank in discussions re- lated to the Sustainable Develop- ment Goals and 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It is also responsible for representing the World Bank at the United Nations. An important work stream is to en- sure the effective alignment of the SDGs to the work of the World Bank. Mohieldin has also played a key role in strengthening the relationship be- tween the UN system and the World Bank. ISSUE 162 JUNE 2022 the BANKING EXECUTIVE 25
