Learn more about how you can pursue World Bank contracting opportunities, specifically with regards to projects in the water and sanitation sector. Receive actionable items and information on priority upcoming projects.
Our World Bank representatives will be Kelly Rzendzian, Commercial Liaison for the U.S. Department of Commerce, and John Williams, Senior Procurement Specialist, World Bank. There will be a focus on water and sanitation projects during the webinar and the services provided by the World Bank.
- The World Bank Group (WBG) is the largest multilateral source of financing for water supply and sanitation (WSS) in developing countries.
- The World Bank Group current WSS lending portfolio is approximately US$13.5 billion which represents more than half of all its water-related operations.
- In FY16-18, the World Bank contributed to providing more than 47 million people with access to an improved water source.
As part of its mission of deepening its engagements with small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs), our Global Markets US Field and Advocacy offices have developed this 5-part series of external US company-focused webinars to equip small to medium-size enterprises with the latest tools and knowledge to help take part in these international project opportunities, winning bids, and the supply chains so as to win more bids, tenders, and business for the future.
While targeting reliable government tenders financed by the MDBs, including the World Bank, can be challenging thus requiring time and dedication, such efforts will greatly enhance your international experience, credentials, and possibility for success. Join our DC-based team at the World Bank and others currently assigned to all the 5 MDBs as they walk us through how each bank approaches project development in their respective regions, and how U.S. companies - including SMEs! - can target those opportunities for success.
