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. This site has lots of great information, in
addition to funding issues.
