WorldBank Debarred Providers

The firms and individuals listed in this dataset are debarred and thus ineligible to participate in World Bank-financed contracts for the periods indicated.

The World Bank Group (IBRD, IDA) maintain a list of companies that are not allowed to be awarded projects by its member organisations. Entities are added either as a consequence of a sanctioning process within the bank (see here for details), or via cross-sanctioning from one of the following other international development banks:

  • Asian Development Bank
  • European Bank for Reconstruction and Development
  • Inter-American Development Bank
  • African Development Bank

nb. This cross-debarment process looks to be somewhat manual. OpenSanctions should crawl all of the involved banks and reconcile their lists.

Notes 

  • For entities that have been permanently excluded from procurement, the sanction end date is given as 2999-12-31.
