Background and faculties

The World Bank (WB) was officially founded in July 1944 during the Bretton Woods Conference, with the aim of laying the foundation for global economic cooperation and post-warlike conflict reconstruction. Through its development, it emphasizes aid coordination, working to safeguard vulnerable groups and mitigate the impact of a variety of situations in the company of the 189 active members of the WB. It is considered a specialized and independent agency of the United Nations, having operational and financial freedom. Nevertheless, this strategic relationship is efficiently structured in the Bank's New York office, where a broad network of managers and staff take part in common emergencies.

In pursuit of fostering effective growth and ensuring the preservation and innovation of sustainable international projects for the community, the World Bank is empowered to:

• Provide detailed technical analysis and financial reports based on objective international needs for the understanding, implementation and evaluation of public policies aimed at development and economic progress;

• Establish low or zero interest loans and credits targeted at the neediest regions, where these borrowed funds will act as an impetus to their economies;

• Encourage the collaboration with multilateral development banks and the private sector to facilitate the creation of opportunities and investments;

• Supply resource and donation support to generate income for ongoing projects, especially those aimed at improving critical conditions;

• Offer expert guidance and assistance to members in implementing policies and reforms focused on current adversities;

• Act as a global convener, promoting the exchange of experiences, practices and innovative solutions to enhance political capacity.
