World Bank Group’s Progression
Conceived in 1944 at the Bretton Woods Monetary Conference in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, the World Bank’s
initial aim was to help rebuild European countries devastated by World War II.
In the 1950s and 60s, the funding of large infrastructure projects, such as dams, electrical grids, irrigation systems, and
roads was the Bank’s primary focus.
In the 1970s, the Bank shifted its attention to poverty eradication. Development projects reflected people-oriented
objectives rather than exclusively the construction of material structures. Projects related to food production, rural and
urban development, and population, health and nutrition were designed to reach the poor directly.
In the 1980s, the Bank continued to enlarge its focus on issues of social development.

While our five institutions have their own country membership, governing boards, and articles of agreement, we work as
one to serve our partner countries. Today’s development challenges can only be met if the private sector is part of the
solution. But the public sector sets the groundwork to enable private investment and allow it to thrive. The
complementary roles of our institutions give the World Bank Group a unique ability to connect global financial
resources, knowledge, and innovative solutions to the needs of developing countries.
Impact, Integrity, Respect, Teamwork, and Innovation embody what is most important to us as an institution, and in how
we work with each other, our clients and our partners. They guide the decisions we make and the actions we take in
carrying out our mission.
