With 189 member countries, staff from more than 170 countries, and offices in over 130 locations, the World Bank Group is a unique global partnership: five institutions working for sustainable solutions that reduce poverty and build shared prosperity in developing countries. The World Bank Group's recruitment policy is to hire staff of the highest caliber, on as wide a geographical basis as possible, with preference to nationals of WBG member countries or countries of operations. Our core values (impact, integrity, respect, teamwork, innovation) articulate what we care about most. They guide how we work with each other, with our clients, and our partners. And most importantly, they help us become a better Bank Group for the poorest people around the world.
