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

Towards Sustainable Decommissioning and Closure of Oil Fields and Mines : A Toolkit to Assist Government Agencies

февраля, 2014

Globally, an increasing number of mines
and hydrocarbon fields are nearing depletion, following
decades of resource exploitation. These operations and the
associated infrastructure will require complex and costly
dismantling; technical and environmental restoration and
rehabilitation measures; and socioeconomic investments to
counteract retrenchment, post-closure economic downturns and
other effects associated with the end of the project's

More Than Just Hot Air : Carbon Market Access and Climate-Smart Agriculture for Smallholder Farmers

февраля, 2014

The Kenya agricultural carbon project is
breaking new ground in designing and implementing climate
finance projects in the agricultural sector. The project is
regarded as an innovative example for climate-smart
agriculture within and outside the World Bank. For the first
time, while increasing productivity and enhancing resilience
to climate change, smallholder farmers in Africa will
receive payments for greenhouse gas mitigation based on

Before Crisis Hits : Can Public Works Programs Increase Food Security?

февраля, 2014

Fighting famine is basic to ending
poverty and saving lives. Emergency aid, which arrives after
the food has run out, isn't enough. Households most in
need of emergency aid often don't have enough food
during other times of the year, posing a broader challenge
for devising programs that can cut hunger and build food
security. Social protection programs, including grants,
social assistance and public works programs are one way to
