The World Bank Group's core arms -- the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA) -- provide loans, credits, and grants to national governments for development projects (infrastructure, health, education, etc.). Before any loan is approved, a Project Appraisal Document (PAD) must satisfy the Bank's Environmental & Social Framework, which now includes a Disability-Inclusion & Accountability Framework.

"Three quarters (75%) of Social Protection projects will be disability inclusive by 2025."
"Charlotte McClain-Nhlapo ... focuses on working with and supporting operational teams across the institution to ensure that Bank policies, programs and projects take people with disabilities into consideration"
