World Bank nominee starts three-continent tour in Africa - International Herald Tribune: "ACCRA, Ghana: Robert Zoellick, the U.S. choice to replace Paul Wolfowitz as head of the World Bank, met with African finance officials in Ghana at the start of a three-continent tour he said would help him understand the needs of poor countries.
'I am in Africa to learn, to listen to the various government officials as to how best I could facilitate the realization of their goals,' Zoellick told reporters at the end of a day of meetings on Wednesday that included sessions with finance ministers from a number of West African countries — including Ghana, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso and Senegal. He also met with Ghana energy officials and representatives of international aid organizations."
