The World Bank is a vital source of financial and technical assistance to developing countries around the world. Its key priorities include: helping developing countries deliver measurable results; improving how projects are designed, how information is made available; and providing a growing range of free, easy-to-access tools, research and knowledge to help people address the world's development challenges. It has globally funded over 12,000 development projects, via traditional loans, interest-free credits, and grants. It is a leading source of data on topics ranging from economic growth to infrastructure and poverty.
Every year, the World Bank publishes its flagship World Development Report, providing insight on policy recommendations regarding a specific aspect of development, spanning broad topics such as health and poverty. Individuals can access major publications, country profiles, and a data portal delving into specific topics and national indicators of development and growth. Of special note, the organization’s Open Learning Campus (OLC) is a unique global portal designed to support self-motivated learners who want to get up to speed on the latest development trends, enhance their skills, and share knowledge through online learning communities.
