The World Bank is a vital source of financial and technical assistance to developing countries around the world.
Mission of the World Bank

We are not a bank in the common sense. We are made up of two unique development institutions owned by 184 member countriesthe International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA). Each institution plays a different but supportive role in our mission of global poverty reduction and the improvement of living standards. The IBRD focuses on middle income and creditworthy poor countries, while IDA focuses on the poorest countries in the world. Together we provide low-interest loans, interest-free credit and grants to developing countries for education, health, infrastructure, communications and many other purposes.
