What happens if I’m selected to be a finalist?
The 100 finalists are invited to submit a more detailed full proposal in English and attend the Marketplace Event at World Bank Headquarters in Washington DC. There, an independent jury comprised of senior World Bank staff and leading individuals in development outside the World Bank (from academia, civil society, foundations, government, other donor institutions and the private sector) will select 20-25 winners based on the five selection criteria and a review by the World Bank to ensure consistency with applicable World Bank policies, procedures and practices and aligned with the World Bank’s mission.
