Poverty Global Practice  

The Poverty and Equity Global Practice, part of the Equitable Growth, Finance, and Institutions vice-presidency, plays a key role in supporting the World Bank Group’s goals of ending extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity. It generates knowledge and dialogue and supports operational solutions, focusing on poverty monitoring and statistical capacity building, markets and institutions, fiscal and social policy, and resilience to shocks and sustainability. The practice is organized into seven regionally-oriented units—EAP, ECA, LAC, MNA, SAR and two in AFR responsible for the delivery of country programs – and a Global Unit, responsible for the delivery of global programs and corporate priorities. 

The development and flow of global knowledge within the practice is facilitated through five main cross-cutting thematic lines. These are: (1) data for policy analysis; (2) markets and institutions for poverty reduction and shared prosperity; (3) fiscal and social policy for poverty reduction and shared prosperity; (4) poverty, fragility, and conflict; and (5) welfare implications of climate change. Our global programs focus on the production of tools and methods for poverty and distributional analysis and of knowledge and public goods to advance the poverty and equity agenda at all levels.
