The World Bank assists researchers in addressing developmental issues primarily through the following ways:

  1. Advisory services to researchers - The World Bank offers expertise and policy advice to help researchers address various developmental challenges.

  2. Free access to its publications - The World Bank provides access to a vast array of research publications and data, helping researchers stay informed and use that information in their work.

While the World Bank does provide grants, loans, and investment capital, these are usually directed more towards projects and governments rather than individuals or independent researchers directly. Therefore, the first two options are less applicable in the context of direct support for researchers.

So the key ways are:

  • The World Bank provides advisory services to researchers.
  • The World Bank provides free access to its publications to researchers.
