Origins and Development

The United Nations Department of Public Information launched Development Business in 1978 with the support of the World Bank, African Development Bank, Asian Development Bank, Caribbean Development Bank and Inter-American Development Bank. Development Business was initially a part of its parent publication called Development Forum, which was a platform for governments and other entities to express ideas on issues and challenges in the international economic environment.

Based on an agreement between the United Nations and the World Bank in 1981, Development Business became the official source for World Bank Procurement Notices, Contract Awards, and Project Approvals. In 1998, the agreement was re-negotiated, and included in this agreement was a joint venture to create an electronic version of the publication via the World Wide Web. Today, Development Business is the primary publication for all major multilateral development banks, United Nations agencies, and several national governments, many of whom have made the publication of their tenders and contracts in Development Business a mandatory requirement.[1]

Partners

Development Business receives its procurement information for publishing from governments, the UN system and development banks. Among its long-standing partners are:
