The World Bank

Overview

The World Bank is an international development organization founded in 1944, with its headquarters in Washington, D.C. It aims to reduce global poverty and support economic development, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Originally established to aid in the reconstruction of Europe and Japan after World War II, the organization has evolved to focus on sustainable development and addressing global challenges such as climate change and post-conflict recovery.

Through loans and grants to governments, the World Bank supports development projects in infrastructure, health, education, agriculture, and environmental protection. It also provides technical expertise, advisory services, research, and training programs. The organization engages in policy development and economic reform initiatives, emphasizing poverty reduction, sustainable growth, and support for its 189 member countries.
