The World Bank provides vital financial and technical support to developing countries in order to achieve the aim of poverty alleviation within a generation. To this end, it has set two ambitious but achievable goals for the world to reach by 2030: To end extreme poverty by decreasing the percentage of the world’s population living on less than US$ 1.25 a day to no more than 3% To promote shared prosperity by raising the incomes of the bottom 40% everywhere. With more than 120 offices worldwide and 10 000 employees, including economists, public policy experts, health specialists and social scientists, the World Bank assists developing countries through policy advice, capacity-building, research and analysis, which often help to inform national investments. It also offers low-interest loans, interest-free credit and grants, which are used across a broad range of investment areas, such as health, education, public administration, financial and private sector development, and infrastructure. The World Bank has long recognized the threat that HIV poses to progress and development. It helps to define the global response to HIV and fully champions the vision of zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS-related deaths. As a UNAIDS Cosponsor, and under the UNAIDS Division of Labour, it is the lead agency for support to strategic planning, including costed and prioritized multisectoral national AIDS plans and conducting analysis to underpin evidence-informed policies. In addition, the World Bank co-leads assistance provided on sexual transmission of HIV with the United Nations Population Fund and social protection with the United Nations Children’s Fund.
