Course Overview:
Developing countries spend millions of dollars each year on purchased goods, construction, and services for development purposes. Much of this funding comes from International Finance Institutions such as the World Bank, which provides low-interest loans or grants. The World Bank plays a vital role in offering financial and technical support. In 2016, the World Bank committed over $16 billion in new development financing for infrastructure and consultancy projects, including transportation, water and sanitation, energy, and extractives.
This comprehensive 5-day training course by IRES provides an in-depth understanding of procurement processes under the World Bank’s modernized procurement framework.
