| Description: | The World Bank, est. 1944, is a vital source of financial and technical assistance to developing countries around the world. It is not a bank in the common sense. The World Bank is made up of two unique development institutions owned by its member countries: The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA). Each institution plays a different but supportive role in the bank's mission of global poverty reduction and the improvement of living standards. |
