The paper highlights that project lending is intended to ensure that the World Bank funds are invested in sound, productive projects with the purpose of contributing both to the borrowing country's capacity to repay and to the development of its economy. It is in the coincidence of these two purposes that the Bank's functions as an international financial institution merge with those that it has increasingly assumed as a development institution.
