Development bank debarment — excluded from bank-funded projects
World Bank MDB Debarment identifies 501 firms and individuals barred from participating in projects financed by the World Bank Group and cross-debarring multilateral development banks, supporting procurement integrity checks and third-party vendor due diligence.
MDB Debarment List is a consolidated list of firms and individuals debarred from participating in projects financed by major Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs). This dataset is maintained by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) through its Open Data portal and includes cross-debarment data from five major development banks.
Organizations Included:
Prohibited Practices: Entities are debarred for fraud, corruption, collusion, coercion, or obstruction in MDB-financed projects. Under the Agreement for Mutual Enforcement of Debarment Decisions (2010), entities debarred by one MDB are automatically cross-debarred by all participating banks.
Use Cases: Essential for vendor due diligence, contractor screening, and procurement compliance when working on international development projects or receiving MDB financing.
