Procurement Management of Equipment and Works using the New Procurement Framework in World Bank
Annually, developing nations allocate millions of dollars towards acquiring goods, constructing infrastructure, and obtaining services to foster development.
A significant portion of these funds originates from International Finance Institutions like the World Bank, which provides low-interest loans or grants. The World Bank plays a crucial role in offering financial and technical assistance.
In 2016, it committed over $16 billion to new development initiatives under Investment Project Financing.
These funds were aimed at supporting infrastructure and consultancy projects across various sectors, including transportation, water and sanitation, energy, and extractives.
