Dear Colleagues,

 

Here is an invitation to join the webinar of the World Bank Group to learn about business opportunities for African countries in Nigeria.

I thought it could be of interest for your federations and companies based in Africa. (I received it from the Procurement Management of the Bank)

 

 

 

 

The World Bank Group is pleased to invite you to a seminar on the procurement and investment opportunities available under projects financed by the World Bank Group.

 

Please join us to learn more about:

 

• The World Bank Group’s mission and priorities in sub-Saharan Africa
• Opportunities for suppliers to compete for contracts in projects financed by the World Bank’s public sector financing arms
• Opportunities for private sector investors to seek financing and guarantees from the World Bank Group
