The World Bank Institute began as the Economic Development Institute in 1955. It now reaches more than 90,000 people a year through more than 800 activities, including policymakers in all economic sectors, mid-level and high-level government officials, parliamentarians, members of the judiciary, journalists, civil society leaders, and other opinion makers involved in developing their communities.
WBI accomplishes its goals through training courses and seminars, policy advice, technical assistance and long-term relationships with service delivery institutions and capacity building organizations. To extend its reach, the Institute also delivers mass products to select clients, using information technologies, mass media, and other knowledge-sharing instruments.
