From multinational organizations and funds
As the following descriptions highlight, most international organizations and funds are restricted to certain parts of the world, fields of activity, or projects of specific types and scopes.
The World Band holds open international tenders where companies, contractors, and consultants are financed based on quality and price. Funded projects are in all possible sectors all over the world. By far, the most significant part of funds from the bank is loaned to the bank’s customers, i.e., individual countries, who then hire consultants and contractors in open international tenders. The tenders are advertised on the website of Development Business.
