World Bank Group in Action

The International Development Association (IDA) is the part of the World Bank that helps the world’s poorest countries.

Pandemics, climate change, conflict. The world faces threats that can only be solved through cooperation and coordination across borders.

Since its founding, The World Bank Group has evolved to meet new challenges to ending extreme poverty and creating opportunity for all. Along with a vast network of worldwide partners, we continue to adapt with new innovative lending approaches, partnering with the private sector to expand funding for development, and responding to global threats that affect rich and poor alike.

“For we shall prosper individually, only as we prosper collectively” - Eugene Meyer. First World Bank President.
