Founding Documents

Each of the five institutions of the World Bank Group has its own Articles of Agreement or an equivalent founding document. These documents legally define the institution's purpose, organization, and operations, including the mechanisms by which it is owned and governed. By signing these documents and meeting the requirements set forth in them, a country can become a member of the Bank Group institutions.
