Overview
The World Bank Group is a global partnership of five institutions comprising the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the International Development Association, the International Finance Corporation, the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency, and the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes. Together they work for sustainable solutions that reduce poverty and build shared prosperity in developing countries. The World Bank helps developing countries achieve sustainable growth by financing investment, mobilizing capital in international financial markets, and providing advisory services and analytical work. Within the World Bank, the Governance Global Practice helps countries build capable, efficient, inclusive, and accountable institutions for enhancing trust, public service delivery, and private sector development. The Governance and Institutions Umbrella Program (G&I UP) will focus on building the public institutions and public accountability pillars for that objective.
The objective of the Governance and Institutions Umbrella Program is to contribute to public sector modernization in bank client countries, including the support of improved public sector performance and institutional reform, increased application of digital and technology solutions, and enhanced transparency and accountability. (Strategy: Inclusive Governance)
