World Bank
World Bank is to provide aid to reduce poverty in the world. World Bank provides aid, in the form of money or technology, to help LDCs to develop economically and socially.
The World Bank provides loans for LDCs at low or no interest. This loan can be used by the countries to improve their level of development, thought projects to improve sanitation and water supply, or to finance vaccination and immunisation programmes.
For example, in 1998, the world bank’s Kecamatan Development Programme (KDP) provided aid to 25 villages in Indonesia. As KDP have benefited 28000 villages across Indonesia
Under the KDP, the World Bank gives monetary grants directly to villages to pay for their own development plan.
For another example, an Indonesian village, 100 kilometres south of Surabaya, Sleepy Tirtomoyo, had been suffering from a severe lack of water. With the help of world Bank, they install high-capacity pumps, network of pipes and machines rented from the cities
