Information Session on World Bank Tenders & role of RVO

A special invitation to companies in the construction-, engineering-,
materials-, environmental- and/or project management sector

After the devastation created by Hurricane Irma in September 2017, Sint Maarten is rebuilding with the help of the Sint Maarten Recovery Reconstruction and Resilience Trust Fund, financed by the government of the Netherlands and managed by the World Bank.

The government of Sint Maarten has listed the damages, estimated at US$ 1.38 billion, in a recovery plan
‘The National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP)’ which also serves as a roadmap for the investment decisions of the $550 million Sint Maarten Recovery Reconstruction and Resilience Trust Fund. The top priorities of the NRRP are the basic needs of the people of Sint Maarten; such as food, shelter, health and livelihoods. The plan also focuses on a medium and longer-term approach to revitalize the economy in a sustainable manner. The projects that are currently being funded from the Sint Maarten Recovery Reconstruction and Resilience Trust Fund are aimed at sustainable strengthening of infrastructure as well as waste collection and processing.

The Dutch Government together with the Chambers of Commerce & Industry in the Caribbean part of the Kingdom will be hosting a series of information sessions in May and June of 2019; the 1st being an interactive Webinar whereby the World Bank and Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland (RVO) will be providing information on Tenders and Procurement Rules of the World Bank with subjects such as:
