Only a few minutes away from the center of Panama City and strategically located alongside the Canal is Ciudad del Saber (City of Knowledge). On the site of the former Clayton U.S. military base, City of Knowledge encompasses an area of 300 acres with more than 200 buildings, and houses a thriving international community where academic, scientific, humanistic and corporate institutions collaborate to further human and sustainable development, based on knowledge.
The old barracks and other military facilities have been transformed into modern offices, laboratories, and classrooms. Former training areas and parade grounds have also been repurposed to create a favorable environment for research, learning, innovation, creativity and interaction.
This transformation has been the responsibility of a private, non-profit, Panamanian institution: City of Knowledge Foundation. Since its inception, the Foundation has worked to attract and establish innovative enterprises, prestigious centers for research and training, as well as advanced academic programs and major international agencies.
City of Knowledge has the vision of transforming the site into a global meeting point, connecting the country to worldwide knowledge networks, thus making a lasting contribution to the sustainable development not only of Panama but throughout the region.
El Banco Mundial ofrece asistencia financiera y técnica para los países en desarrollo de todo el mundo. Nuestra visión es crear un mundo libre de pobreza en un planeta habitable.
No somos un banco en el sentido común; estamos compuestos por dos instituciones de desarrollo únicas que pertenecen a los 189 países miembros: el Banco Internacional para la Reconstrucción y el Desarrollo (IBRD) y la Asociación Internacional de Fomento (AIF).
Cada institución juega un papel diferente pero colaborativo para alcanzar nuestra misión. El IBRD tiene como objetivo reducir la pobreza en los países más pobres de ingresos medios y solventes, mientras que la AIF se centra en los países más pobres del mundo.
Su trabajo se complementa con el de la Corporación Financiera Internacional (IFC), el Organismo Multilateral de Garantía de Inversiones (MIGA) y el Centro Internacional de Arreglo de Diferencias Relativas a Inversiones (ICSID).
Juntos, proporcionamos préstamos de bajo interés, créditos sin intereses y subvenciones a los países en desarrollo para una amplia gama de fines que incluyen inversiones en educación, salud, administración pública, infraestructura, desarrollo del sector financiero y privado, gestión de recursos agrícolas y ambientales y naturales.
