Senior Knowledge & Learning Officer
The World Bank
Pascal Saura has dedicated ten years to teaching literature in France and the United States, ten years to leading linguistic and cultural programs for the French government, and ten years to shaping knowledge and learning practices for international development.
With the Alliance Française, he connected millions of adult students with schools around the world while spearheading the AF FRAMES and MERLIN initiatives.
Since joining the World Bank in 2010, he has designed the first large-scale virtual forum of the organization, created the Ask Water service desk, and developed the knowledge and learning strategy of the World Bank Water Global Practice and Climate Change Group. Since 2023, he is leading the Climate Change Knowledge Portal, pursuing a lifelong effort to bridge the gap between what people know and what they do.
In 2024, he collaborated with World Bank colleagues on the book: Communities of Practice at the World Bank: Breaking Knowledge Silos to Catalyze Culture Change and Organizational Transformation
