The World Bank offers two basic types of loans and credits: investment operations and development policy operations.  Countries use investment operations for goods, works and services in support of economic and social development projects in a broad range of economic and social sectors. Development policy operations (formerly known as adjustment loans) provide quick-disbursing financing to support a country’s policy and institutional reforms.

Project Cycle

World Bank-financed projects are identified, implemented and evaluated during specific phases in a well-documented project cycle.

Documents produced by the bank during the project cycle - particularly during the identification and implementation stages - can be valuable sources of information for businesses that seek to bid on bank-financed projects or plan to become involved in developing countries' projects. This section explains how to navigate the eight major stages of the project cycle. It identifies the documents produced as part of the process, and highlights the information that is available online. It also contains some useful tips for companies that want to do business with the World Bank and the bank's borrowers.
