The Office of the Executive Director is composed of a group of Senior Advisors and Advisors who assist in the Directors’s supervision role on the World Bank activities and its strategic orientation.
Each Senior Advisor and Advisor is responsible for reviewing projects and documents related to certain geographical areas and topics which are then discussed and voted for approval at the Board of Executive Directors twice a week. Moreover, the Office represents each country member of its constituency and liaises with their respective Ministries and other public and private sector bodies.
The Executive Director plays a strong and proactive role on behalf of the interests of its Constituency countries by facilitating a flow of information and providing direct services to firms, individuals, and NGOs. These services include:
• coordination of missions/visits to the World Bank • ad-hoc dissemination of information of projects, sector/regional orientation of the Bank • publication of a monthly Newsletter “World Bank Business Opportunities” in Italian, Greek, and Portuguese, which provides information on how to work with the World Bank, on the most recently approved projects, and provides a new sector focus each month • information about career opportunities at the World Bank
With these initiatives, the office intends to contribute to the dissemination of best practices while ensuring a higher level of the Bank’s transparency, improving international procurement, and increasing human resources competition. Back to homepage |
