World Bank Support of Disabled-Owned Businesses
I am proud to inform you about an exciting program launched
by the World Bank that will facilitate business enterprises
owned, operated and controlled by disabled people to have
access to the procurement opportunities of the five
international organizations composing the World Bank Group.
The program is managed by the World Bank Group Corporate
Procurement Unit, which is committed to increasing business
participation of Disabled Owned Business Enterprises by
direct contracting, and by working with Bank Group's prime
contractors to help them expand their subcontracting of
Bank Group related business. Procurement practices provide
opportunities for access and growth of disabled owned
business enterprises through their Minority, Women and
Disabled Owned Business Enterprise (MWDBE's).
Please visit https://info.worldbank.org/vendorkiosk/ to
find out more about the Corporate Procurement Unit Supplier
Diversity Program.
In order to assure the success of this program, we are
enlisting your help in raising awareness about the
opportunities it affords disabled owned businesses.
Please spread this information within your network, and
encourage disabled owned businesses to submit their company
profiles.
Thank you very much for your collaboration
