The World Bank is a vital source of financial and technical assistance to developing countries around the world. Our vision is to create a world free of poverty on a livable planet.
We are not a bank in the common sense; we are made up of two unique development institutions owned by 189 member countries: the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA).
Each institution plays a different but collaborative role in advancing the vision of inclusive and sustainable globalization. The IBRD aims to reduce poverty in middle-income and creditworthy poorer countries, while IDA focuses on the world's poorest countries.
Their work is complemented by that of the International Finance Corporation (IFC), Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) and the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID).
Together, we provide low-interest loans, interest-free credits and grants to developing countries for a wide array of purposes that include investments in education, health, public administration, infrastructure, financial and private sector development, agriculture and environmental and natural resource management.
The University of Queensland (UQ) is ranked among the world’s top 50 universities and one of Australia’s leading teaching and research institutions.
UQ delivers for the public good through transformative education, pioneering research, and meaningful engagement with communities.
We have Australia’s most awarded teachers and our graduates are highly sought after. UQ researchers work with government and industry – from discovery to commercialisation – to solve global challenges.
Our community includes 54,000+ students, 365,000+ alumni, and 450 international partners and we’re a member of Universitas 21, Group of Eight, Universities Australia, Worldwide Universities Network, and the Association of Pacific Rim Universities.
