See demo here

The application aims to provide anyone with a quick and easy interface to access the World Bank data, in a format that suits their needs or interests, even when Internet connectivity is not available. To facilitate access to the data anytime and anywhere, both web and desktop application versions are available. The web version is updated real time and can retrieve indicators either by topic (e.g. “Education”) or by ‘data source’ (e.g. “African Development Indicators”). It is available in English, French and Spanish. In order to function without Internet connectivity, the desktop version comes with a pre-defined selection of World Bank data, as well as relevant data from other sources related to the MDGs.
