Roadmap to International Development Business

Pursuing Contracts Funded by International Financial Institutions and the United Nations System

Industry Sector Opportunity Focus:

• Management Consulting
• Legal and Judicial Reform

This Roadmap to International Development Business seeks to present a comprehensive, practical business guide on pursuing international development business service opportunities through projects funded by United Nations agencies and the major International Financial Institutions like the World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank, Asian Development Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, African Development Bank, and the Caribbean Development Bank.

The resources on this site are aimed in particular at companies interested in pursuing contract opportunities in management consulting and in a growing number of legal and judicial reform projects in developing and transition countries.

Legal and Judicial Reform. Legal drafting, legislative and regulatory reform, modernization of legal institutions and court administration, training of judges, legal information systems and many other aspects of law and development represent robust contract opportunities for Canadian law firms, NGOs, universities, legal institutions and individual experts.

Management Consulting. Services in a broad range of functional areas (i.e., Human Resources, Strategic Planning, Finance and Banking, Tax reform, Information Technology) are in high demand for the planning and execution of comprehensive economic and social development projects financed by the IFIs and UN System.

The information in this Roadmap to International Development Business will serve as a sector-specific complement to other key Canadian government resources, including IFINet.
