WORLD BANK

 

Founded in 1945 for the reconstruction of war-torn Europe, the World Bank has evolved into one of the world’s largest sources of development assistance. Its mission – to reduce poverty worldwide-is a critically important one. The social and economic data and research published by the World Bank in support of this mission are fundamental to its development efforts.

The World Bank conducts and publishes research on a broad range of social and economic development issues including development policy, finance, health, education, trade, aid effectiveness, and poverty. The World Bank also works with national governments and other organizations worldwide to collect social and economic data and, under the auspices of the International Comparison Program, to ensure that it publishes internationally comparable data, consistent in definition, timing, and methods.
