ABOUT
THE WORLD BANK

    At the World Bank we dream of a world
    free of poverty
 

Our dream is a world free of poverty. Our mission is to achieve lasting poverty reduction with passion and professionalism. We help people help themselves and their environment, moving resources, sharing knowledge, building capacities, and setting up new partnerships with the public and private sectors.

We seek excellence with professional and devoted staff endowed with outstanding skills, ready to listen and learn. In Venezuela we act as a financing source and a know-how dispensing bank. We develop partnerships and promote initiatives to address the country’s sustainable development agenda. The wide scope of our action is focused on underprivileged populations in given countries, while promoting human values inherent to our mission.

We have identified three priorities to ensure a better future:

Protect the planet by improving environmental governance.

Reduce poverty effectively.

Educate young people for the 21st century, instilling an element of hope and a better future.
