 | The PSLO Network is a network of local contact persons who facilitate SME access to the World Bank Group (WBG) products and services and interaction between the WBG and the private sector.  The PSLOs, with support from the WBG, act as a convenient local "one-stop shop". They disseminate information about the WBG and its transaction opportunities (procurement, IFC, MIGA, trust funds), organize regional or thematic events, facilitate contacts between local companies and the WBG, and promote the WBG as a platform for knowledge-sharing and partnership. |
Although PSLOs are not exclusive entry points for companies interested in the WBG, their 'insider knowledge' of the WBG and their local business community give them a distinct competitive advantage. More information is available from the Office of Liaison with International Financial Institutions (OLIFI) at the Canadian Embassy in Washington D.C. and from the World Bank External Affairs North America team.
