Devex’s recent analysis of World Bank contract awards data looked at the key sectors and regions that won funding in fiscal year 2017. Awarded in four procurement categories — goods, civil works, consultant services, and nonconsulting services — the analysis showed that 55 percent of contracts went to consultant services, amounting to $1.25 billion of funding.
Here, we’ll look at the top 10 contractors for this important category — who they are and what they won funding for.
Of 2,159 consultant awards, 932 (43 percent) were implemented in the Africa region, followed by Eastern Europe and Central Asia (22 percent), East Asia (12 percent), and South Asia (11 percent).
