Established in 1997, ODCCP consists of the United Nations International Drug Control Program (UNDCP) and the United Nations Centre for International Crime Prevention (CICP).

The World Bank Group: http://www.worldbank.org/
• Founded in 1944, the World Bank Group is one of the world's largest sources of development assistance. The Bank, which provided US$17.3 billion in loans to its client countries in fiscal year 2001, is now working in more than 100 developing economies, bringing a mix of finance and ideas to improve living standards and eliminate the worst forms of poverty. For each of its clients, the Bank works with government agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector to formulate assistance strategies. Its country offices worldwide deliver the Bank's program in countries; liaise with government and civil society, and work to increase understanding of development issues.
• The World Bank Group consists of five closely associated institutions, all owned by member countries that carry ultimate decision-making power. As explained below, each institution plays a distinct role in the mission to fight poverty and improve living standards for people in the developing world. The term "World Bank Group" encompasses all five institutions. The term "World Bank" refers specifically to two of the five, IBRD and IDA.
