The World Bank Group
Nature of Activities :: Update :: Upgrade

The World Bank Group was founded in 1944 and is one of the largest providers of development assistance. The Bank works in more than 100 developing countries engaging with government agencies, non-governmental organisations and the private sector to aid in their development. Assistance is given in the form of financial grants and loans accompanied by ideas for the sustained improvement of economic policies.

The World Bank is owned by 184 member countries. Their will is expressed through a board of governors and a board of directors and those members that are shareholders have the ultimate decision-making power.

The Bank places emphasis upon investment in people through the improvement of basic health and education. It encourages social development by the strengthening of institutions and the promotion of good governance and private business and the protection of the environment.

Procurement procedures :: Update :: Upgrade

The procurement of goods and services for projects financed by the World Bank is not done by the Bank itself, but by the borrowing country or the administering agency in the borrowing country. The procurement nevertheless takes place under strict World Bank rules. It is estimated that approximately 30 000 contracts for the procurement of goods, works and services are awarded annually.

Goods and services procured :: Update :: Upgrade

A typical range of goods procured for these projects include: communication and telecommunication equipment, closed circuit television and surveillance systems, aviation communications systems, power generating and distribution equipment, vehicles, agricultural machinery, transport equipment, industrial plant, and mining and road-making machinery. In addition "smaller items" such as hospital furniture, pharmaceuticals, education items and laboratory equipment are also procured.

Procurement of civil works is undertaken for the construction of buildings, road earth works, civil engineering, power stations, grain silos, housing and special development.

Consultancy services are procured in the fields of architecture, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical and environmental engineering
