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

Assessing Poverty in Kenya

августа, 2012
Kenya

About half of Kenya's rural
population (approximately 9 million people) was the poverty
line in 1992, a proportion unchanged from 1982. In urban
areas, approximately a million and a quarter persons or 30
percent of the population was below the poverty line. In the
early 1980s, Kenya's social indicators were distinctly
more favorable than those of most countries in the region,
and there was further progress. But many indicators

Participation in the Irrigation Sector

августа, 2012

The irrigation sector provides a rich
source of experiences and lessons in user participation.
Participation by farmers in system design and management
helps to ensure the sustainability of the system, reduce the
public expenditure burden, and improve efficiency, equity
and standards of service. Mobilizing support at all levels
and establishing the participatory process, however,
involves costs; it also demands knowledge of the incentives

Nigeria - Targeting Communities for Effective Poverty Alleviation

августа, 2012
Nigeria

An important finding from analyzing the
survey data from the poverty assessment study on Nigeria is
the concentration of the poor in communities in which most
of the other households are also poor, and the tendency of
the non-poor households to reside in communities in which
the population is largely non-poor. As a result, the overall
income inequality in the country is due largely to income
inequality between communities and much less to income

Transport and Economic Performance : Linkages and Implications for Sector Policy

августа, 2012

Infrastructure's interactions with
and importance to the economies of developing countries have
not been fully understood. This is evident in the
Bank's approach to sector work in infrastructure and in
its structural adjustment programs, which emphasize
adjusting prices to the detriment of a country's
infrastructure. Still, the available evidence indicates that
in poorer countries with inadequate infrastructure,

Law is society's institution which
articulates rules to govern legal and non-legal
institutions. Rules of legal institutions aim to protect the
citizen against discretionary and arbitrary power, ensure
equality with others and guarantee procedural fairness.
Impartial administration of the law through independent
accessible courts and a democratic process of law-making,
defines and enforces the limits and powers of state
