This document summarizes the Mapping for Results tool created by the World Bank. The tool maps over 30,000 locations of over 2,500 active World Bank projects across 143 countries. It also includes indicator data on health and poverty for some countries. Users can view projects by sector, location, and compare locations to data on infant mortality, poverty, and population density. The tool aims to increase transparency and citizen engagement around World Bank and donor-funded projects.
