<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">The World Bank is like a cooperative, made up of 188 member countries. These member countries, or shareholders, are represented by a Board of Governors, who are the ultimate policymakers at the World Bank. Generally, the governors are member countries' ministers of finance or ministers of development. They meet once a year at the Annual Meetings of the Boards of Governors of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">The governors delegate specific duties to 25 Executive Directors, who work on-site at the Bank. The five largest shareholders appoint an executive director, while other member countries are represented by elected executive directors.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">The World Bank Group has set two goals for the world to achieve by 2030:</span></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">End extreme poverty by decreasing the percentage of people living on less than $1.25 a day to no more than 3%</span></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">Promote shared prosperity by fostering the income growth of the bottom 40% for every country</span></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">The World Bank is a vital source of financial and technical assistance to developing countries around the world. We are not a bank in the ordinary sense but a unique partnership to reduce poverty and support development. The World Bank Group comprises five institutions managed by their member countries.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">Established in 1944, the World Bank Group is headquartered in Washington, D.C. We have more than 10,000 employees in more than 120 offices worldwide.</span></p>

<p>WHO began when our Constitution came into force on 7 April 1948 – a date we now celebrate every year as World Health Day. We are now more than 7000 people from more than 150 countries working in 150 country offices, in 6 regional offices and at our headquarters in Geneva.</p>
<p><strong>Constitution of the World Health Organization: Principles</strong></p>

<li>The health of all peoples is fundamental to the attainment of peace and security and is dependent on the fullest co-operation of individuals and States.</li>
<li>The achievement of any State in the promotion and protection of health is of value to all.</li>
<li>Unequal development in different countries in the promotion of health and control of diseases, especially communicable disease, is a common danger.</li>
<li>Healthy development of the child is of basic importance; the ability to live harmoniously in a changing total environment is essential to such development.</li>
<li>The extension to all peoples of the benefits of medical, psychological and related knowledge is essential to the fullest attainment of health.</li>
<li>Informed opinion and active co-operation on the part of the public are of the utmost importance in the improvement of the health of the people.</li>
