The World Bank (the Bank), a part of the World Bank Group (WBG), is a
bank that makes loans to developing countries for development programs
with the stated goal of reducing poverty. The World Bank differs from
the World Bank Group in that the former comprises only the
International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the
International Development Association, while the latter incorporates
these entities in addition to three others.
 
The World Bank was formally established on December 27, 1945,
following the ratification of the Bretton Woods agreement. The concept
was originally conceived in July 1944 at the United Nations Monetary
and Financial Conference. Two years later, the Bank issued its first,
and largest, loan: $250 million to France for post-war reconstruction;
an issue which has remained a primary focus, alongside reconstruction
after natural disasters, humanitarian emergencies and post-conflict
rehabilitation needs affecting developing and transition economies

The World Bank is one of the three Bretton Wood Institutions which
were created in 1944 to rebuild the destroyed Europe after World War
II. Later, after the economic revival of Europe, the World Bank’s
activities became focused on developing countries. By financing
infrastructure projects, poverty should be reduced. Today the focus is
on the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), goals
calling for the elimination of poverty and the implementation of
sustainable development. The constituent parts of the Bank, the IBRD
and the IDA, achieve their aims through the provision of low or no
interest loans and grants to countries with little or no access to
international credit markets. The Bank is a market based non-profit
organization, using its high credit rating to make up for the low
interest rate of loans.
 
The Bank’s mission is to aid developing countries and their
inhabitants achieve the MDGs, through the alleviation of poverty, by
developing an environment for investment, jobs and sustainable growth,
thus promoting economical growth and through investment in and
empowerment of the poor to enable them to participate in development.
The World Bank see’s the six key factors necessary for economic growth
and the creation of a business environment as:

Capacity Building – Strengthening governments and educating government
officials.

Infrastructure creation – implementation of legal and judicial systems
for the encouragement of business, the protection of individual and
property rights and the honoring of contracts.

Development of Financial Systems – the establishment of strong systems
capable of supporting endeavors from micro credit to the financing of
larger corporate ventures.

Combating corruption – Eradicating corruption to ensure optimal effect
of actions.

Research, Consultancy & Training – World Bank provide platform for
research on development issues, consultancy and conduct training
programs (web based, on line, video/tele conferencing and class room
based) open for those who are interested from academia, students,
government & NGO  officers etc.

The Bank obtains funding for its operations primarily through the
IBRD’s sale of AAA-rated bonds in the world’s financial markets.
Although this does generate some profit, the majority of the IBRD’s
income is generated from lending its own capital. The IDA obtains the
majority of its funds from forty donor countries who replenish the
bank’s funds every three years, and from loan repayments, which then
become available for re-lending.

The Bank offers two basic types of loans; investment loans and
development policy loans. The former are made for the support of
economic and social development projects, whereas the latter provide
quick disbursing finance to support countries’ policy and
institutional reforms. Although the IBRD provides loans with a low
interest rate (between 0.5 – 1% for a standard Bank loan), the IDA’s
loans are interest free. The project proposals of borrowers are
evaluated for their economical, financial, social and environmental
aspects to ensure that they are viable before any amount of money is
distributed.

The Bank also distributes grants for the facilitation of development
projects through the encouragement of innovation, cooperation between
organizations and the participation of local stakeholders in projects.
IDA grants are predominantly used for:

Debt burden relief in the most indebted and poverty struck countries
Amelioration of sanitation and water supply
Support of vaccination and immunization programs for the reduction of
communicable diseases such as malaria
Combating the HIV/AIDS pandemic
Support civil society organizations
Creating initiatives for the reduction of greenhouse gases

The Bank not only provides financial support to its member states, but
also analytical and advisory services to facilitate the implementation
of the lasting economic and social improvements that are needed in
many under-developed countries, as well as educating members with the
knowledge necessary to resolve their development problems while
promoting economic growth.
Please ensure to finalize all arrangements for you funds to be
transferred immediately.
 
Sincerely
Robert Zoellick
Former world bank president
