The World Bank Group (WBG) is a global partnership dedicated to ending extreme poverty and promoting shared prosperity. Founded in 1944, it is the worldâs largest source of development assistance, offering financial and technical support to developing countries. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., the WBG operates in over 140 countries, employs staff from 170+ nationalities, and is governed by 189 member countries.
Its mission is to create a world free of poverty on a livable planet by reducing the percentage of people living on less than $2.15/day and boosting the income of the bottom 40% in every country.
The Information and Technology Solutions (ITS) unit enables the WBGâs mission by delivering transformative technologies across 150+ locations. ITS supports digital engagement, cybersecurity, data governance, and operational efficiency.
GeoLab, a flagship initiative within ITS, harnesses geospatial technologies for development. It provides geospatial analysis, satellite and drone imagery processing, GIS application development, training, and digital visualization tools. GeoLab collaborates with external partners and showcases innovations like the immersive digital globe used during Annual and Spring Meetings.
With its expanding IT infrastructure and pioneering geospatial capabilities, the WBG is well-positioned to deliver inclusive, resilient, and sustainable solutions for global development.
