The World Bank

The goal of the World Bank is to reduce poverty and to improve the living standards of the people in low and middle-income countries. The World Bank is one of the world’s largest sources of funding and knowledge to support governments of member countries in their efforts to invest in schools and health centers, provide water and electricity, fight disease and protect the environment. This support is provided through project or policy-based loans and grants, as well as technical assistance like advice and studies.
