Since the 1970s, UN Development Business (UNDB) has been the primary and most comprehensive source of procurement information for the major development banks. In order to know what contracts are currently available from these banks, subscribing to UNDB is imperative. There are other resources that can help you get started. Keep in mind that they do not contain the specific contract/procurement information that UNDB contains, but they can help you get started as you become a player in the development arena. Such resources include:
-
Resource Guide to Consulting, Supply and Contracting Opportunities in Projects financed by the World Bank. This details the various stages of World Bank funded projects.
