HOW TO JOIN A NETWORK OF THE WOMEN, BUSINESS AND THE LAW GLOBAL CONTRIBUTORS?

We are delighted for your organization to join our network of stakeholders supporting WBL data collection on a global scale. Please email wbl@worldbank.org to express your interest. Our team will gladly get in touch.

 

GLOBAL CONTRIBUTOR ENGAGEMENT PROCESS

We are pleased to invite your Firm to complete questionnaires on family law and access to finance, labor law and childcare services, and violence against women across the 190 jurisdictions covered by the Women, Business and the Law report.

STEP 1: The WBL team coordinates with your Firm’s Pro bono coordinator/designated focal point  to clarify what being  a global contributor entails, outline participation process and provide a detailed timeline.

STEP 2: The WBL team requests to circulate the Expression of Interest Form within your Firm. This allows us to gauge the topics and economies to which your representatives wish to contribute. 

STEP 3: Your representative(s) receive a link to the questionnaire based upon the selection indicated in the Expression of Interest Form. The WBL team will refrain from contacting individual experts during data collection, but may reach during the validation stage for additional clarifications. 

STEP 4: Your representative(s) complete the questionnaire(s). We remain at your disposal should you need any support during this period. 

STEP 5: Once the questionnaire(s) has been completed, all respondents receive individual certificates of appreciation.
