The World Bank’s Bold New Vision

“To create a world free of poverty – on a livable planet.”

This vision and mission will test the sincerity of our ambition – it sets us on a journey that will require reimagined partnerships, a new way of working and thinking, an innovative plan to scale and replicate, additional resources, and optimism for what could be possible.

In all corners of the globe, people are eager to go to work, and to create with their own hands. They want a better life for their children and grandchildren.

We must be the hand on the back – moving people forward. We must be an institution that exports optimism and impact.
