Organization


 
Global level
 
The Global Development Learning Network is managed by the World Bank. The GDLN Global Secretariat, in the World Bank Institute, functions as the Network’s central hub, providing communications, coordination, and the setting of network-policies, strategies, and systems. Regional GDLN Teams within the World Bank work together with regional GDLN Secretariats on business and partnership development.
 
Regional level
 
Our regional GDLN associations in Africa, the Americas, Eurasia, Asia and the Pacific have their own localized missions and structures for decision-making, oversight, and direct participation in decisions and responsibilities at the regional level.
 
Country level
 

GDLN affiliates in countries such as Brazil, China, Ecuador and Russia, partner with in-country networks that provide connectivity to the most remote areas. These are typically national research and education networks that connect universities within the country, thereby enriching the GDLN partnership with their institutional knowledge and communities of experts. In other cases, these networks belong to the public sector and often connect municipalities across a country.
