The
World
Bank
Group
has
set
two
goals
for
the
world
to
achieve
by
2030:
End
extreme
poverty
by
decreasing
the
percentage
of
people
living
on
less
than
$1.90
a
day
to
no
more
than
3%
Promote
shared
prosperity
by
fostering
the
income
growth
of
the
bottom
40%
for
every
country
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
ordinary
sense
but
a
unique
partnership
to
reduce
poverty
and
support
development.
The
World
Bank
Group
comprises
five
institutions
managed
by
their
member
countries.
Established
in
1944,
the
World
Bank
Group
is
headquartered
in
Washington,
D.C.
We
have
more
than
10,000
employees
in
more
than
120
offices
worldwide.
Financial
Products
and
Services
We
provide
low-interest
loans,
zero
to
low-interest
credits,
and
grants
to
developing
countries.
These
support
a
wide
array
of
investments
in
such
areas
as
education,
health,
public
administration,
infrastructure,
financial
and
private
sector
development,
agriculture,
and
environmental
and
natural
resource
management.
Some
of
our
projects
are
cofinanced
with
governments,
other
multilateral
institutions,
commercial
banks,
export
credit
agencies,
and
private
sector
investors.
We
also
provide
or
facilitate
financing
through
trust
fund
partnerships
with
bilateral
and
multilateral
donors.
Many
partners
have
asked
the
Bank
to
help
manage
initiatives
that
address
needs
across
a
wide
range
of
sectors
and
developing
regions.
Innovative
Knowledge
Sharing
We
offer
support
to
developing
countries
through
policy
advice,
research
and
analysis,
and
technical
assistance.
Our
analytical
work
often
underpins
World
Bank
financing
and
helps
inform
developing
countriesâ
own
investments.
In
addition,
we
support
capacity
development
in
the
countries
we
serve.
We
also
sponsor,
host,
or
participate
in
many
conferences
and
forums
on
issues
of
development,
often
in
collaboration
with
partners.
To
ensure
that
countries
can
access
the
best
global
expertise
and
help
generate
cutting-edge
knowledge,
the
Bank
is
constantly
seeking
to
improve
the
way
it
shares
its
knowledge
and
engages
with
clients
and
the
public
at
large.
Key
priorities
include:
Results:
We
continue
to
sharpen
our
focus
on
helping
developing
countries
deliver
measurable
results.
Reform:
We
are
working
to
improve
every
aspect
of
our
work:
how
projects
are
designed,
how
information
is
made
available
(Access
to
Information),
and
how
to
bring
our
operations
closer
to
client
governments
and
communities.
Open
Development:
We
offer
a
growing
range
of
free,
easy-to-access
tools,
research
and
knowledge
to
help
people
address
the
world's
development
challenges.
For
example,
the
Open
Data
website
offers
free
access
to
comprehensive,
downloadable
indicators
about
development
in
countries
around
the
globe.
We
have
also
made

Bank
Liveâlive
discussions
open
to
participants
worldwideâa
key
part
of
our
Spring
and
Annual
Meetings
