The World Bank Group’s mission is to fight poverty and improve the living standards of people in the global South. It is a development Bank which provides loans, policy advice, technical assistance and knowledge sharing services to low and middle income countries to reduce poverty.

The Bank is developing and extending its products and services to help its clients meet this development challenge of including people with disabilities. There is a growing portfolio of Bank projects, which include persons with disabilities. Increasing the quality of such projects is a high priority, and will be accomplished through the collection of information on good practice in development assistance for disabled persons and distribution of this information in supports for project design. Bank-supported knowledge resources (provided on-line) complement these activities

The World Bank has a commitment to including people with disabilities in the work they fund. In Latin America they are particularly looking at making "Development Marketplace" project funds available for people with disabilities.
