Global Practice for Urban, Resilience and Land
The World Bank's Urban, Resilience, and Land Global Practice (GPURL) works with cities and governments throughout the world to help them tackle the challenges of disaster risks and climate change. We do this through comprehensive investments in infrastructure, social programs, and the support to policy and regulatory reforms to plan cities better and leverage their financing capacity. Ultimately, these efforts aim to contribute to the World Bank's twin goals of ending extreme poverty and promoting shared prosperity by improving the living standards of the poorer segments of the population, oftentimes the most affected by uncontrolled urbanization.
GPURL covers a wide array of issues including: (i) supporting the development of green, inclusive, resilient and productive cities, including harnessing urbanization to contribute to growth and poverty reduction, and strengthening local governments' capacity to plan, finance and deliver services and infrastructure investments; (ii) promoting efficient, well-coordinated spatial and territorial development processes including strengthening rural-urban linkages and developing lagging regions; (iii) strengthening disaster risk management policies, institutions and regulations and mainstreaming resilience across development sectors including risk assessment and mapping, risk reduction (including urban flood management, stormwater drainage, coastal management, and retrofitting of infrastructure), disaster preparedness (including hydromet services, early warning systems, and civil defense), risk financing (including CAT-DDO), and resilient reconstruction and recovery (including post-disaster damage and needs assessment); (iv) post-conflict reconstruction and recovery; (v) strengthening land tenure, management and information systems; and (vi) supporting the development of national and sub-national spatial data infrastructure and supporting the development of geospatial information.
Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery
The Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR), established in 2006, is a multi-donor partnership and grant-making financing mechanism. The Facility contributes to the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction by supporting on-the-ground technical assistance to help developing countries integrate Disaster Risk Management and climate change adaptation into development strategies, policies and investment programs, including post-disaster recovery and reconstruction. The GFDRR Secretariat is hosted within GPURL at the World Bank in Washington D.C. with satellite offices in Brussels and Tokyo. The Secretariat is responsible for resource mobilization, awarding and managing grants, reporting on results, and carrying out outreach and partnership development. It also acts as the support hub for a decentralized network of Disaster Risk Management experts within the World Bank and supports a number of global platforms for knowledge-sharing and capacity building.
GFDRR implements most of its activities through the World Bank, in partnership with national, regional, and other international agencies.

These are: Science and Technology, Inclusive Community Resilience, Urban Resilience, Resilient Infrastructure, Hydromet and Early Warning Systems, Financial Protection and Insurance, Resilience to Climate Change, and Resilient Recovery. The Facility maintains expert teams within each area of engagement that provide grant recipients with specialized knowledge and quality assurance in the design and implementation of activities. Along with these teams, GFDRR maintains communities of practice that help connect a broad array of partners, facilitate global engagements and capacity building, and produce innovative knowledge.
GFDRR's operating model is underpinned by seven principles: (i) a demand driven approach to ensure maximum impact; (ii) leveraging development investments and policies; (iii) focusing on inclusive design and participation; (iv) empowering women and mainstreaming gender; (v) jointly addressing disaster and climate risk; (vi) developing knowledge and sharing best practices; and (vii) prioritizing results-oriented approaches.

The World Bank's Twin Goals:
The World Bank has twin goals of ending extreme poverty and promoting shared prosperity. Its capacity to fulfill these goals is underpinned by a Treasury Vice Presidency ("Treasury") that is widely recognized across the global capital markets for its dynamic professionalism and its record of innovation in obtaining outperformance for its clients in all the Treasury's functions.
The World Bank Treasury:
Treasury is the Vice Presidency performing treasury functions for IBRD and for other members of the World Bank Group. Its activities are organized and grouped along three departments: (1) capital markets, investments & financial products, (2) asset management and advisory, and (3) treasury operations. Treasury has been a large and significant player in the international financial markets for more than 70 years and has achieved a global reputation as a prudent and innovative borrower, investor, and risk manager. Treasury is responsible for: (i) managing more than $185 billion in assets for the World Bank and other official-sector investors; (ii) leading the World Bank's financing program in international and domestic bond and derivatives markets; (iii) conducting asset and liability management for IBRD and IDA's balance sheets; (iv) overseeing the development and outreach related to the financing and hedging products that IBRD and IDA provide for their developing-country clients; and (v) collaborating with official sector institutions of member countries to help build their capacity in asset and public debt management.
