African Development Bank - Direct MarketingAfDB Direct Marketing
Direct marketing is not a viable means of engaging directly in AfDB Group funded projects. Whether project procurement for performance of public works projects, or corporate procurement for consulting/advisory services, procurements are initiated with the issuance of public tenders and are run through the competitive bidding process. Unsolicited proposals and offers are not considered. Private sector activities in partnership with the Private Sector Department involve investments rather than procurements. The Private Sector Department and in-country stakeholders are traditionally unresponsive to unsolicited approaches from afar. Interested firms should take care to familiarize themselves with the local culture, and business practices. To work with the Private Sector Department on Investments, please direct all applications and inquiries to the Director of the Private Sector Department.
Direct marketers may find opportunity marketing vital components to contractors with a history of conducting AfDB funded projects. Identifying these contractors may be challenging. One can consult prior AfDB Group Projects/Operations to identify successful primary contractors. Privacy rules prohibit disclosure of information on bidders on active competitions.
