It is important to highlight the 6
th
enabler – Inclusivity, Sustainability, and 
Nutrition – because, while it can be translated into several specific initiatives, it must be 
a guiding principle for the other enablers.
It is not enough for these concerns to be spoken 
about in a specific forum; rather they must be mainstreamed throughout the strategy. Where 
there is a decision to be made about distribution network, relative resource allocation, or 
prioritized area of focus, inclusivity, sustainability, and nutrition will be key deciding factors 
for which pathway to take. Thus, beyond the specific initiatives listed in Table 3, the Bank will 
make efforts to elevate the importance of these issues across all of its activities.
