World Bank Group Strategy
No full textThe World Bank Group will focus its financial and technical resources to ending extreme poverty and promoting shared prosperity in a sustainable manner, especially in fragile states, Sub-Saharan Africa, and South Asia. To this end, it is pulling its specialized agencies (IBRD, IDA, IFC, MIGA) to work more closely in all the areas of engagement, from data collection to socio-economic analysis, technical policy advice, lending, investment, risk mitigation, training and knowledge, as well as looking to strengthen partnerships worldwide, especially within the private sector.
Implementation of the Strategy will require organizational change and a new framework for medium-term financial sustainability to ensure that its resources are commensurate with the roles and responsibilities it carries out on behalf of the international community. Translated into action, the Strategy will reposition the World Bank Group to help transform the lives of the nearly 4 billion people still living in or at the edge of extreme poverty

No full textNote: Information in this title reflected the institution at the time of publication and may be subject to change... The World Bank Group (also known as the “Bank Group”) is the largest anti-poverty institution in the world, offering loans, advice, knowledge, and an array of customized resources to more than 100 developing countries and countries in transition. Established in 1944 and headquartered in Washington DC, the Bank Group is a specialized agency of the United Nations that is made up of 188 member countries. It works with country governments, the private sector, civil society organizations (CSOs), regional development banks, think tanks, and other international institutions on a range of issues—from climate change, conflict, and food crises to education, agriculture, finance, and trade—with the sole purpose of meeting two goals: ending extreme poverty by 2030 and boosting shared prosperity of the bottom 40 percent of the population in all developing countries.
The World Bank Group A to Z provides ready-reference insight into the history, mission, organization, policies, financial services, and knowledge products of the institution’s five agencies.

This volume also has a detailed index, reference materials on World Bank Group country membership, organizational charts of the five agencies, and information about how to connect with or work for the institution.

World Bank Group and World Bank Corporate Scorecards, October 2014
No full textThe 2014 World Bank Group Corporate
Scorecard for the fall Annual Meetings is designed to
provide a high-level and strategic overview of the World
Bank Group's performance toward achieving the two
goals. It is the apex from which indicators cascade into the
monitoring frameworks of the three World Bank Group
institutions. The Scorecard is structured in three tiers: 1)
The Goals and Development Context tier provides an overview
of progress on key development challenges faced by World
Bank Group client countries; 2) The Results tier reports on
the key sectoral and multi-sectoral results achieved by
World Bank Group clients with support of World Bank Group
operations in pursuit of the goals; and 3) The Performance
tier captures World Bank Group performance in implementation
of the World Bank Group Strategy and includes measures of
both operational and organizational effectiveness. These
three tiers are the components of a unified results and
performance monitoring framework with indicators grouped
along the result chain as follows: the Scorecard monitors,
at an aggregate level, how the World Bank Group implements
its Strategy and improves its performance (Tier III) in
order to support clients in achieving results (Tier II) in
the context of global development progress (Tier I). The
indicators in the first two tiers are grouped into three
categories encompassing growth, inclusiveness, and
sustainability/resilience. The World Bank Group Strategy
recognizes the importance of each of these three areas for
the achievement of the two goals. Economic growth that
creates good jobs requires action to strengthen both the
private and public sectors. Inclusion entails empowering all
citizens to participate in, and benefit from, the
development process and removing barriers against those who
are often excluded. Sustainability ensures that today?s
development progress is not reversed tomorrow; it implies
securing the long-term future of the planet and its
resources, ensuring social inclusion, and limiting the
economic burdens on future generations. Recognizing the
importance the World Bank Group Strategy places on fragility
and gender, Scorecard indicators are disaggregated by gender
and fragile and conflict-affected situations when feasible

The World Bank Group and Foundations : Stories of Partnership 2014
No full textToday, the World Bank Group works with over 80 foundations around the world. This publication brings together examples of those partnerships. The report is not comprehensive, but an attempt to capture a sense of the breadth and extent of collaboration between the World Bank Group and the philanthropic sector. It tells the story of the power of partnerships and what can be achieved by working together.
