What is the ?
The is a searchable database that contains profiles of every World ƵAPP development project since ƵAPP operations began in 1946. Each profile provides key project information such as finances and approval dates as well as access to project reports and folder lists of project records.
What are project records?
ƵAPP’s operational work with its member countries is primarily done through development projects. These projects are financed by low-interest loans, zero to low-interest credits, or grants to developing countries. Projects comprise an array of investments in areas such as education, infrastructure, and public administration.
Records created in support of these projects are evidence of the project team’s activities as they progress through the World ƵAPP’s project cycle. Project records provide you with insight about what the World ƵAPP has done in a particular country, sector and time period. ƵAPP Group Archives is the sole custodian for project records over 20 years of age.
Where can I search for project records?
Each project page provides information that contextualizes the project in the overall work of the World ƵAPP. Each project page also provides a list of archival records over 20 years of age that relate to that project. The list can be found in the “Archival Records” sub-tab.
How can I see the project records?
In some cases, project records have been digitized and are available to download by clicking on the hyperlinked folder title.
