The World Bank's Country Policy and Institutional Assessment is done annually for all its borrowing countries. It has evolved into a set of criteria, which are grouped in four clusters: (a) economic management; (b) structural policies; (c) policies for social inclusion and equity; and (d) public sector management and institutions. The number of criteria, currently sixteen, reflect a balance between ensuring that all key factors that foster pro-poor growth and poverty alleviation are captured, without overly burdening the evaluation process. Ratings for each of the criteria reflect a variety of indicators, observations, and judgments. They focus on the quality of each country's current policies and institutions - which are the main determinant of present aid effectiveness prospects. To fully underscore the importance of the CPIA in the IDA Performance Based Allocations, the overall country score is referred to as the IDA Resource Allocation Index (IRAI).
Aggregate groups may reflect economies beyond those included in this database. For details on the member composition, see World Bank Country and Lending Groups at https://datahelpdesk.worldbank.org/knowledgebase/articles/906519-world-bank-country-and-lending-groups The ESG dataset provides a collection of indicators for sustainable investment analysis, based on a draft framework of 17 key sustainability criteria.

The World Bank's ASPIRE online tool is the most up-to-date compilation of global social protection and labor (SPL) indicators, based on household survey and administrative data from over 150 countries—mostly in the developing world. ASPIRE provides harmonized indicators on populations' socio-economic status, social expenditure and SPL programs performance, such as coverage, targeting accuracy, adequacy of benefits and simulated SPL program impact on poverty and inequality. The portal also provides full documentation of the methodology and harmonization of SPL programs.

The Identification for Development (ID4D) data presents a collection of indicators that are of relevance for the estimation of adult and child ID coverage and for understanding foundational ID systems' digital capabilities. The indicators have been compiled from multiple sources, including a specialized ID module included in the Global Findex survey and officially recognized international sources such as UNICEF. Although there is no single, globally recognized measure of having a ‘proof of legal identity’ that would cover children and adults at all ages or, of the digital capabilities of foundational ID systems, the combination of these indicators can help better understand where and what gaps in remain in accessing identification and, in turn, in accessing the services and transactions for which an official proof of identity is often required.
The WDI Database Archives (WDI-DA) contains previous versions of the World Development Indicators database, including indicators that have been discontinued. Data are drawn from all available electronic releases going back to 1989. Users should exercise caution when comparing data from different versions, as the same codes have been used to reference series with different base years or different valuations of a country's local currency. For example, the series code for constant US dollar GDP (NY.GDP.MKTP.KD), which is currently based in 2015, has been used in previous editions when the base year was 1987, 1995, 2000, 2005, and 2010. Please note that when an indicator is available in the WDI Archives and in the current WDI database, only the current metadata for this indicator is available in both databases. We will be working to improve the usability of the archives by harmonizing codes and names to the extent possible and adding additional metadata.
