The World Bank Institute's online Learning Catalog provides information about selected WBI Learning Program events. WBI's thematic Learning Programs offer courses, seminars, and policy advice. Most programs are tailored to specific country or regional needs and some address global issues, such as the roles of good governance, climate change, and knowledge in development. Aligned with the Milennium Development Goals as well as the goals of the World Bank, WBI's thematic programs undergo extensive peer review and draw on state-of-the-art theory and practice. The website of each program provides learning resources, information on events and courses, and some also offer online newsletters and other materials. A number of programs provide access to extensive interactive data sets. |
