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

Tajikistan - Economic and Distributional Impact of Climate Change

Agosto, 2012

Tajikistan is highly vulnerable to the
adverse impacts of global climate change, as it already
suffers from low agricultural productivity, water stress,
and high losses from disasters. Public awareness of the
multiple consequences of climate change is high, with
possible impacts on health, natural disasters, and
agriculture of greatest public concern. Climate change can
potentially deepen poverty by lowering agricultural yields,

Why Cargo Dwell Time Matters in Trade

Agosto, 2012

The international community has been
increasing investment in projects that promote trade
facilitation and improve logistics in the developing world,
including in ports. In Africa, a key motivation for such
projects has been a presumption that poor infrastructure and
inefficient border control agencies are the major causes of
extended delays in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) ports. Based on
new data and analysis, this note argues that collusion

Yemen - The Mineral Sector : Analysis of Potential and Governement Action Needed to Spur Development

Agosto, 2012

Yemen's dependence on the oil
sector as a source of economic growth is no longer
sustainable given the rate at which oil reserves are being
depleted. This study was conducted to assess the potential
contribution of the mineral sector to sustainable growth and
poverty alleviation in Yemen and to define the constraints
that will need to be overcome if this potential is to be
realized. In so doing it helps to define those areas of

Political Risk : The Missing Link in Understanding Investment Climate Reform?

Agosto, 2012

Political risk has once again become a
key concern of investors after the perceived openness and
liberalization of foreign direct investment (FDI) regimes in
the 1990s. Governments that do not recognize this trend pay
a high price in lost investments. Confronting political and
regulatory risks as part of the investment climate is thus
crucial for countries to make their business environments
more competitive. This note suggests reforms that can have
