The World Bank is a vital source of financial and technical assistance to developing countries around the world. We are not a bank in the ordinary sense but a unique partnership to reduce poverty and support development. The World Bank Group has two ambitious goals: End extreme poverty within a generation and boost shared prosperity.


  • To end extreme poverty, the Bank's goal is to decrease the percentage of people living on less than $1.25 a day to no more than 3% by 2030.
  • To promote shared prosperity, the goal is to promote income growth of the bottom 40% of the population in each country.

The World Bank Group comprises five institutions managed by their member countries.


The World Bank Group and Land: Working to protect the rights of existing land users and to help secure benefits for smallholder farmers


The World Bank (IBRD and IDA) interacts primarily with governments to increase agricultural productivity, strengthen land tenure policies and improve land governance. More than 90% of the World Bank’s agriculture portfolio focuses on the productivity and access to markets by small holder farmers. Ten percent of our projects focus on the governance of land tenure.


Similarly, investments by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the World Bank Group’s private sector arm, including those in larger scale enterprises, overwhelmingly support smallholder farmers through improved access to finance, inputs and markets, and as direct suppliers. IFC invests in environmentally and socially sustainable private enterprises in all parts of the value chain (inputs such as irrigation and fertilizers, primary production, processing, transport and storage, traders, and risk management facilities including weather/crop insurance, warehouse financing, etc

Petroleum Markets in Sub-Saharan Africa : Analysis and Assessment of 12 Countries

Maio, 2014

This regional study takes twelve
oil-importing countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and asks the
following two questions: does each stage in the supply
chain, from import of crude oil or refined products to
retail, seem to be efficiently run and are the efficiency
gains passed on to end-users? And if not, what are the
potential causes and possible means of remedying the
problems? The study focuses on Burkina Faso, Cote

Implementing EITI at the Sub National Level : Emerging Experience and Operational Framework

Maio, 2014

The fundamental rationale behind
Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) is that
increased transparency and knowledge of revenues from the
extractive industries will empower citizens and institutions
to hold governments accountable. By implementing EITI at the
sub national level, countries could reduce opportunities for
mismanagement or diversion of funds from sustainable
development purposes, especially for prominent oil, gas, or

Carbon Livelihoods : Social Opportunities and Risks of Carbon Finance

Maio, 2014

Global concerns about climate change
have led to the development of new market based mechanisms
aimed at reducing the concentration of greenhouse gases
(GHGs) in the atmosphere. These carbon trading schemes
enable countries or entities within countries to trade
'carbon credits' in order to increase the economic
efficiency of transitioning to a low carbon economy. A
sub-set of these markets involve the generation of carbon

Mitigating Climate Change through Restoration and Management of Coastal Wetlands and Near-shore Marine Ecosystems : Challenges and Opportunities

Maio, 2014

There is overwhelming consensus amongst
climate scientists that the Earth's warming in recent
decades has been caused primarily by human activities that
have increased the amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the
atmosphere. To mitigate the most serious impacts of climate
change a range of different strategies to lower carbon
dioxide (CO2) concentrations in the atmosphere are required.

Greenhouse Gas Analysis at the World Bank

Maio, 2014

This report builds on reviews of
available methodologies, tools, and practices for greenhouse
gas (GHG) analysis, and summarizes the outcomes of pilot
studies. It discusses the issues and challenges associated
with GHG analysis for energy, transport and forestry
projects such as setting project boundaries and accounting
for indirect emissions. To do this it draws on existing
