The Telling Our Story series puts a human face on IFC's work, featuring short profiles of leading projects and the people whose lives they improve. It also shows how IFC has an impact on development by working with the private sector, a key source of economic growth, job creation, and poverty reduction in emerging markets.

This issue (Focus, Delivery, Results) covers IFC's work on some of the most important issues of today, including the food prices crisis, climate change, and the challenge of scaling up microfinance. It draws on recent examples of investment and advisory services from all regions.
