ADVOCACY LIAISONS AT MULTILATERAL DEVELOPMENT BANKS


DOING BUSINESS WITH MULTILATERAL DEVELOPMENT BANKS

Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) are organizations comprised of donor and
borrowing member countries that provide financing and advice for the purpose of
economic advancement in developing countries. These Banks finance development
projects worth billions of dollars throughout the world. 

Doing business with any of the MDBs depends on a company’s ability to do
business in the country where the project will be implemented, and with the
borrowing government that runs the procurement process. Knowledge of the local
language, culture, business practices, legal system, and other local conditions
is essential. 


HOW ADVOCACY MDB LIAISONS SUPPORT U.S. COMPANIES

The Advocacy Center has MDB Liaison Officers at each of the five MDBs to assist
U.S. companies on how to work with these banks, advocate on procurement and
contracting issues to ensure fair and equal treatment, and increase the
proportion of MDB projects won by U.S. firms. Services include:

 * Counseling on how to approach the MDB and borrowing governments.
 * Meeting with MDB project managers to provide U.S. firms with updates on
   specific projects.
 * Identifying upcoming projects that present a good opportunity for U.S. firms.
 * Identifying funded projects with business opportunities for U.S. companies.
 * Informing U.S. firms of relevant Invitations to Bid (specific procurement
   notices).
 * Advocating that project bids from U.S. companies receive fair and equal
   consideration as foreign countries’ project bids.
 * Keeping U.S. firms informed of MDB procured contracts, including policy
   studies (on subjects such as gender, the environment, etc.) and
   goods/services directly procured by the MDB.
