Supporting people around the world to meet basic needs
April 22, 2026
Through the World Bank’s Sustainable Development Bonds, investors can help channel capital into practical projects that strengthen communities, improve access to essential services and support climate resilience.
- Capital advances poverty reduction, climate stability and shared prosperity
- Funding has supported people affected by Ukraine war

THE Regnan Credit Impact Trust and Pendal Sustainable Australian Fixed Interest Fund invested in a World Bank (International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, IBRD) Sustainable Development Bond, which supports a broad portfolio of development projects across emerging and developing economies.
IBRD lending spans a wide range of environmental and social priorities. On the environmental side, financing supports renewable energy and energy‑efficient infrastructure, as well as climate‑resilience activities.
Alongside this, lending delivers important social outcomes, including improved access to education and healthcare.
Examples of projects supported through this lending include the expansion of electricity supply to rural areas of Bolivia, where more than 100,000 people[1] gained access to new or improved electricity services.
In Angola, IBRD financing has strengthened public health preparedness through training programs that equipped around 10,000 health workers1 with skills in infection prevention and control.
More recently, this funding has supported people affected by the war in Ukraine through the Housing Repair for People’s Empowerment project[2].
This program has enabled rapid repairs to partially damaged homes, helping families secure safe and habitable housing ahead of winter. In many cases, this support is genuinely life‑saving.
These bonds provide exposure to a AAA‑rated supranational issuer while directing capital toward globally significant development outcomes, including supporting climate stability, poverty reduction and shared prosperity across emerging and developing economies.
