KDCs are information centers and hubs for dialogues and partnerships for development. KDCs are open to the public. No membership fees are required.
As an Information center, KDCs provide a vast collection of printed, multimedia, and online resources to make World Bank studies, Bank-assisted projects, and development-related information available to the public.
