Global Vendor Forum for Women-Owned Businesses: Accessing Consulting Opportunities at the WBG

Are you a women-owned business interested in doing business with the WBG? Join the World Bank Group Corporate Procurement unit for an engaging presentation on how to access corporate procurement opportunities. 

The World Bank Group (WBG) is a world-class leader that works in every major area of development and provides a wide array of financial products and technical assistance to help countries share and apply innovative knowledge and solutions to the challenges they face. A range of advisory services, analytical work, capacity building, research, project appraisal and consulting services at the country, regional and global level are being procured by the WBG through Corporate Procurement to support these operational activities.
