Fighting poverty with passion and professionalism for lasting results.
(201)

The World Bank is one of the world's largest sources of development assistance, but we are not a bank in the common sense; we aim to help people help themselves and their environment by sharing knowledge and providing financial and technical assistance. Conceived in 1944 to reconstruct war-torn Europe, we work in more than 100 developing countries. The World Bank works closely with countries in Europe and Central Asia to help address social and economic challenges in an effective and sustainable way, through a wide range of means including financial lending and economic policy advice.
