In global development it has been observed that the World Bank sources have been allocated on a limited scale by developed countries as not all countries have been included in the process at the same rate. The efforts of the World Bank to increase the development level of countries, which have resource allocation and structural problems, have contributed to obtaining structural improvement in the world economy as well as necessary sources of income from the world trade for each country. Depending on that, recovery targets with the tools and resources of the World Bank used for the purpose of expanding developing countries are set forth in this study.

AbstractIn the context of the increasing use of ICTs as a medium for higher education delivery across national borders, the World Bank established the Global Development Learning Network (GDLN). GDLN's official mission was to facilitate rapid and simultaneous dissemination of knowledge to audiences in various socio-geographic spaces and the expansion of the opportunity for tertiary education in developing countries. Using the case of Centre d'Education à Distance de Côte d'Ivoire, one of the GDLN national institutional affiliates in Africa, this study illustrates the agendas of liberalization and globalization through ICTs in spite of the potential for local educational gains.
