What is cross-debarment?
On 9 April 2010, ADB, African Development Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, Inter-American Development Bank and the World Bank signed an “Agreement on Mutual Enforcement of Debarment Decisions” [ PDF ] (the “Agreement”) to mutually enforce each other’s debarment actions on a prospective basis, with respect to the four prohibited practices, i.e. corruption, fraud, coercion and collusion. This is known as cross-debarment.
