Funding Insights: World Bank Procurement

About the Webinar
Speakers

Fragile states. The “learning crisis.” Digital economies in Africa. Last month, the World Bank Spring Meetings offered a glimpse at the institution’s major priorities. How do these priorities stack up to past disbursements — and how might they be operationalized moving forward?

In the wake of the approval of a $13 billion capital increase, Devex is convening a panel of World Bank and development data experts to discuss the past trends — and future — of World Bank procurement.

This one-hour webinar will cover:

Insights into World Bank funding trends — including top countries and sectors
New projects in the funding pipeline
The impacts of the latest procurement reforms

We will also save time at the end for audience questions. You may submit questions ahead of the event to [email protected].

This event is open exclusively to Devex Executive Members and those with a Business Intelligence Account. If you are not currently a member, you will be prompted to upgrade during registration.
