Assignment:
"To meet the goals of ending extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity, the World Bank must work with countries to help them achieve their development priorities. Doing so will take financial resources, certainly. But it also requires data, evidence, and knowledge on how to best use those resources for development gains. It demands a long-term commitment to see those investments through, from conception to completion.
The World Bank brings all these elements-financing, knowledge, experience, and commitment-to each of its partnerships with countries that aspire to grow their economies and provide greater opportunities for their people. As an institution with 189-member countries, we have an unmatched global reach that gives us the ability to work across countries and continents. We use our convening power to amplify the voices of developing countries by bringing together international, national, and local leaders with stakeholders to share knowledge, leverage relationships, and partner for solutions. We provide a wide array of financial products, technical assistance, and support for countries to apply global knowledge to the challenges they face. By working with countries to implement development projects over the long term, we help to ensure that growth is not only attainable but sustainable as well.
Three priorities guide our work with countries: accelerating sustainable and inclusive economic growth; investing in people to build human capital; and fostering resilience to global shocks and threats. Working across interconnected sectors, with an increasing array of diverse partners, we aim to improve the economic prospects of countries and people around the world."
