The World Bank is a vital
source of financial and
technical assistance to
developing countries around
the world. It is not a bank in
the common sense. World
Bank is 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
World Bank's 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 the Bank provides
low-interest loans, interest-free
credit and grants to
developing countries for
education, health,
infrastructure,
communications and many
other purposes.
