This fast changing global environment is forcing the development community to adaptto do development differently. Its no longer only about finance. Its about transparency in government, access to the latest global knowledge, and using innovative ways to solve development challenges.

STRATEGY The World Bank Institute (WBI) supports the World Banks operational work and its country clients in this rapidly changing landscape by forging new dynamic approaches to capacity development.

INSTITUTIONS

The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) aims to reduce poverty in middle-income countries and creditworthy poorer countries by promoting sustainable development through loans, guarantees, risk management products, and analytical and advisory services. Established in 1944 as the original institution of the World Bank Group, IBRD is structured like a cooperative that is owned and operated for the benefit of its 188 member countries.188 member countries IBRD raises most of its funds on the world's financial markets and has become one of the most established borrowers since issuing its first bond in 1947. The income that IBRD has generated over the years has allowed it to fund development activities and to ensure its financial strength, which enables it to borrow at low cost and offer clients good borrowing terms.

The International Development Association (IDA) provides interest- free loanscalled credits and grants to governments of the poorest countries.International Development Association (IDA) It has 172 member countries.

The International Finance Corporation(IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, is the largest global development institution focused exclusively on the private sector. We help developing countries achieve sustainable growth by financing investment, mobilizing capital in international financial markets, and providing advisory services to businesses and governments.International Finance Corporation(IFC) It has 184 member countries.

The Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) was created in 1988 as a member of the World Bank Group to promote foreign direct investment into developing countries to support economic growth, reduce poverty, and improve peoples lives. MIGA fulfills this mandate by offering political risk insurance (guarantees) to investors and lenders.Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) It has 177 member countries.

The International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) provides international facilities for conciliation and arbitration of investment disputes.International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) It has 159 member countries.

REFORM and RENEWAL Since then, the Bank Group has made much progress. All five institutions have been working - separately and in collaboration - to improve internal efficiency and external effectiveness. Clients report to be broadly pleased with the changes they see in Bank Group service levels, commitment, deliveries, and quality.

These institutions are part of a larger body known as the World Bank Group.International Bank for Reconstruction and DevelopmentInternational Development Association

STRATEGIC THEMES Six strategic themes drive the Banks work, focusing on the poorest countries, fragile and conflict-affected states, the Arab world, middle- income countries, global public goods issues, and delivery of knowledge and learning servicesstrategic themes At the World Bank, It has made the world's most pressing development issue to reduce global poverty our mission. World Bank focus on achieving the Millennium Development Goals, which call for the elimination of poverty and sustained development. These goals provide World Bank with targets and yardsticks for measuring results.Millennium Development Goals

The Poorest Countries Problems: Many of the UN's Millennium Development Goals for 2015 seem out of reach for the world's poorest countries. An estimated 1.4 billion people survive on incomes of $1.25 or less a day. Rising food prices threaten to increase hunger and malnutrition, while climate change is affecting agriculture, the mainstay of most people in poor countries. Communicable diseases, especially HIV/AIDS and malaria, are widespread. Many of the poorest countries in Africa are landlocked and lack reliable electricity, hampering the development of business and trade. What World Bank is Doing: The World Bank Group has funding to help the poorest countries through its International Development Association (IDA). World Bank give an importance on fighting hunger and malnutrition, particularly through better agricultural productivity. It is encouraging regional integration and helping develop infrastructure: power, water, transport, and information and communications technologies. To produce faster results, IDA is undertaking joint programs with International Finance Corporation (IFC), the World Bank Group's lead agency for private sector development, as well as with other nonprofit organizations.International Development AssociationInternational Finance Corporation

Post-Conflict and Fragile States Problems: Many of the world's poorest countries have faced a vicious cycle of conflict and poverty. Some 80 percent of the 20 poorest countries have suffered a major war in the past 15 years, bringing extraordinary suffering to their people and often affecting the larger region. Peace can also be fragile: Countries emerging from war face a 44 percent chance of relapsing within five years. Even with rapid progress on economic recovery, it can take a generation or more just to return to prewar living standards. What World Bank is Doing: Helping prevent conflict and support reconstruction remains a critical part of the World Bank's global mission of poverty reduction; in fact, World Bank was first founded to support reconstruction after World War II. The World Bank Group is working with many partners, including donor trust funds and the United Nations, to offer more responsive, flexible and comprehensive solutions in difficult environments.

Middle-Income Countries Problems: Middle-income countries are still home to most of the worlds poor people, often with a heavy concentration in specific regions or ethnic groups. These countries are generally creditworthy and have some access to financial markets, but they face constraints in mobilizing the funds they need to invest in infrastructure and essential services. They also need help to reform policies and institutions in ways that improve the investment climate. What We're Doing: The World Bank Group is working to meet middle-income countries specific needs with tailored assistance that draws on an array of competitive financial products and knowledge and learning services. These countries are also increasingly important partners in our work to address critical cross-border and global issues, such as clean energy, trade integration, environmental protection, international financial stability and the fight against infectious diseases.

Global Public Goods Problems: Global public goods are aspects of development that reach across borders: Examples include the environment, public health, international trade and financial infrastructure. Actions are often needed that extend beyond what market systems or individual countries can do on their own -- developing new vaccines, for instance, and reducing carbon emissions to address global warming. What World Bank is Doing: The World Bank Group is helping spur multilateral action and global partnerships involving governments, nonprofit organizations and socially responsible corporations. Its work on global public goods focuses on the environment, especially climate change; controlling communicable diseases, such as HIV/AIDS and malaria; preventing and mitigating crises in international financial systems; and promoting an open, multilateral trade system.

The Arab World Problems: The Arab world has strong potential for growth and development, but it remains poorly integrated into the global economy apart from the oil sector. It has the highest unemployment among developing regions, as well as the lowest economic participation by women. The regions poor and rich countries alike suffer from such problems as water scarcity, lack of economic diversity, weak public accountability, and conflict. What World Bank is Doing: The World Bank Group, in close cooperation with the League of Arab States, has established the Arab World Initiative (AWI), a partnership to foster effective collaboration in the interests of economic integration and knowledge sharing among the countries of the Arab world. The initiative focuses on three key pillars: Human Development and Improving the Quality of Education, Infrastructure Projects, and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Development. These pillars are detailed on the corresponding Arab World Initiative website, featuring the latest data, research, multimedia and documentation about efforts in the Arab world.Arab World Initiative

Knowledge and Learning Problems: Poor and developing countries seek the World Bank Groups expertise as much as they seek its financial assistance. As clients, they increasingly expect integrated solutions to address their particular needs. To become more economically competitive, they need data to benchmark their progress. More than ever, in-depth analysis of local challenges and practical experience gathered from around the world form the groundwork for sustainable development. What World Bank is Doing: The World Bank Group is committed to remaining the premier source of development knowledge through reports, data and analytical tools, conferences, and the Internet. World Bank is enhancing our capacity to share this knowledge globally and are helping build partnerships and expertise in client countries. World Bank is have moved toward an open data platform, making our Web-based information more accessible and interactive, and improving the focus and depth of its learning and capacity-building programs.

Financial Products and Services World Bank provides low-interest loans, interest-free 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 World Banks projects are financed with governments, other multilateral institutions, commercial banks, export credit agencies, and private sector investors.
