With 189 member countries, staff from more than 170 countries, and offices in over 130 locations, the World Bank Group is a unique global partnership: five institutions working for sustainable solutions that reduce poverty and build shared prosperity in developing countries. Our mission is:

• To end extreme poverty: by reducing the share of the global population that lives in extreme poverty to 3 percent by 2030.
• To promote shared prosperity: by increasing the incomes of the poorest 40 percent of people in every country.
