Empowering South African Diverse-Owned Businesses through Corporate Procurement

The World Bank Group (WBG) is an organization 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. The World Bank Group support areas such as human development, agriculture and food security, climate change, social sustainability and inclusion, education, trade, and many others.

A range of goods works and services (advisory services, analytical work, capacity building, research, project appraisal and consulting services) are procured at the country, regional and global level, on a regular basis by the WBG through Corporate Procurement, to support our corporate activities.  

During this event you will learn from about how the WBG has been tackling supplier diversity and inclusion, and the efforts we make to increase participation of women-owned and black-owned businesses in our supply chain. You will also have an opportunity to learn more details about what categories we procure, vendor eligibility criteria and how to apply to opportunities to be a WBG vendor.
