Capacity Development in the World Bank Group : A Review of Nonlending Approaches

This work on a review of non-lending approaches, which for the purposes of this brief is defined broadly as activities that have a stated goal of improving individual, organizational and broader institutional capacities in a country, is spread widely throughout the Bank. It includes specific, well-defined Bank products, such as non-lending technical assistance, training, some economic and sector work, as well as some research and other knowledge-sharing activities that the Bank facilitates for its partner countries. World Bank units directly carry out much of this work.
