As critical leverage points in the development process, projects translate plans into action. As vehicles for social and economic change, they can provide the means of mobilizing resources and allocating them to the production of new economic goods and social services.
The purpose is to assist numerous projects in different high priority sectors in each country, such as: Infrastructure (roads, ports, airports, railways, urban infrastructure), social housing and residential areas, auxiliary buildings (schools, sports centres, police stations, administrative buildings, etc.), telecommunications and digital infrastructure, healthcare, agriculture, fisheries, water treatment, waste collection and treatment, business and industrial development, transport and logistics, mining, tourism development, etc.
DWB works in eighteen countries in Asia, Africa, the Middle East and the Americas. In all of them we implement projects that enhance the human, economic and cultural development of the population.
The implementation of the assistance will be handled according to each specific country’s banking structure and capabilities.
The options which are constantly evolving will be tailor made to suit current governmental and banking requirements and can be updated and amended accordingly.
DWB makes good practices for the design, implementation, and evaluation of projects. Our focus is based on four principles:
• Alignment: This addresses the specific strategic approaches of the assisted countries to provide them with tailor-made solutions.
• Effectiveness: This ensures that projects are based on clear evidence that addresses development needs and provides solutions. It is a priority that projects define clear and verifiable objectives, establishing control, monitoring and evaluation mechanisms.
• Efficiency: This protects resources by ensuring that project benefits outweigh costs, promoting cost-efficient interventions.
• Risk and sustainability: These promote adequate risk management and the establishment of favourable conditions to maintain project results in the future.
It is DWB's responsibility to ensure that the assistance is used appropriately, and projects are realised on schedule within the initial specifications and requirements.
Prepared studies and preliminary projects are forming the technical part and are presented to the governments together with the political and economic part of the initial proposal. After the initial meetings, when the feedback is positive and the country decides to continue with the process, presented proposals are discussed with the government representatives and experts and often further adapted and amplified by our team. As result, a series of specific projects has been developed for given governments such as:
Before we approach a government of a country already approved to be assisted, our technical team do an extensive research and study the current situation in the country, figure out its major necessities and emergencies to be addressed and prepare a set of proposals by sectors.
