Information Bank on African Development Studies (IBADS) is an electronomic mailing service provided by the Africa Technical Department at the World Bank. Its objective is to disseminate information about development studies on Sub-Saharan Africa.

IBADS consists of an index and a list of abstracts of studies undertaken by the Africa Technical Department at the World Bank. The service will eventually be expanded to include full-text reports, as well as development studies undertaken by other units in the World Bank and other development, academic, and research organizations worldwide.

After you have been accepted as a subscriber, you will receive a welcome message that contains commands to retrieve the IBADS abstracts you would like to see. If you are interested in full reports, you may request them directly from their authors/task managers whose names appear in the abstract of the study concerned.

In order to subscribe, please follow the procedure below. If you are World Bank staff, please refer to Subscription A. If you are not World Bank staff, please refer to Subscription B.

Thank you.
