The World Bank is a vital source of financial and technical assistance to developing countries around the world. We are not a bank in the common sense. We are made up of two unique development institutions owned by 185 member countries—the 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
Since inception in 1944, the World Bank has expanded from a single institution to a closely associated group of five development institutions. Our mission evolved from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) as facilitator of post-war reconstruction and development to the present day mandate of worldwide poverty alleviation in conjunction with our affiliate, the International Development Association. headquarters The World Bank 1818 H Street, NW Washington, DC 20433 USA tel: (202) 473-1000 fax: (202) 477-6391

The adoption of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in 2000 solidified an historic global partnership to focus on reaching seven specific targets to reduce poverty, hunger, disease and illiteracy. The eighth goal, develop a global partnership for development, identifies the means to achieve the other seven. These are examples of important global partnerships in which the World Bank participates: Onchocerciasis Control Program (OCP) Successfully halted transmission of river blindness in 11 countries with a collective population of 35 million. Consultative Group for International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) Created and promoted crop improvements in developing countries over the last 30 years through a network of research centers. Global Environment Facility (GEF) Provides grants to developing countries to fund projects that benefit the global environment and promote sustainable livelihoods in local communities. Consultative Group to Assist the Poorest (CGAP) Expands access to microfinance by the poor in developing countries through a consortium of 28 public and private development agencies.
Financial Sector Reform and Strengthening Initiative (FIRST) Provides flexible, practical assistance to developing countries to strengthen their financial systems and adopt international financial standards. Global Water Partnership (GWP) Supports countries in the sustainable management of their water resources. Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) Seeks to protect public health worldwide through the widespread use of vaccines. The Carbon Fund Works to develop viable, flexible market mechanisms to reduce greenhouse gas emissions under the Kyoto Protocol. Roll Back Malaria Coordinates the international fight against malaria, which kills more than 1 million people a year, most of them children in Africa.
Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AID Advocates for global action on the HIV/AIDS epidemic and works with civil society, the business community and the private sector. Education for All Focuses attention on education and strives to ensure an education for every citizen in every society.
