Information sharing is essential for sustainable development. It stimulates the debate, broadens the understanding of development issues, and enhances transparency and accountability in the development process. To this end, the World Bank provides a variety of products and services described below. For all questions on publications and documents, on projects, and on the World Bank in general, you are welcome to contact the World Bank Public Information Services in Europe.
DOCUMENTS AND PUBLICATIONS ONLINE The World Bank carries out abundant research in order to increase the understanding of development policies and programs. These documents and publications are accessible to the development community, as part of its knowledge-sharing program, directly and for free.

DEPOSITARY LIBRARIES Research is also disseminated and accessible through a network of world depository libraries. Western European depository libraries are all information partners of the World Bank European Public Information Services; as such, the institutions collaborate closely to ensure appropriate information availability and sharing in the country.
