Nolia
Use Case

Borrower Countries Managing MDB-Funded Projects

For implementing agencies running procurement activities for multilateral development bank-funded infrastructure and development projects.

Map showing MDB project countries

Nolia massively minimises borrowing countries' procurement timelines from months to minutes.


The Challenge

Implementing agencies face significant delays in MDB-funded project delivery due to lengthy documentation requirements and approval cycles.

Procurement teams are struggling with:

Document preparation bottlenecks – Terms of Reference, bidding documents, and evaluation reports (TERs and CERs) take months to prepare and often require multiple revisions before MDB approval

Extended approval timelines – Back-and-forth with MDBs to meet compliance standards adds 6-12 months to individual procurement activities, delaying project implementation and fund disbursement

Resource constraints – Small procurement teams managing multiple activities across project components, with limited capacity to handle high-volume technical evaluations at speed

Every month of delay means delayed impact, delayed disbursement, and delayed delivery of critical infrastructure and services.

How Nolia Helps

Nolia transforms procurement activity processes for borrower countries, giving implementing agencies the tools to meet MDB standards at lightning speed.

Feature demonstration

What You Get

Dramatically faster project delivery
Take 6-12 months off individual procurement activities. Multiply that across multiple activities within project components, and you're talking about years saved on overall project delivery—getting critical infrastructure and services to communities faster.

Reduced procurement team workload
Free your procurement teams from months of document drafting and evaluation grunt work. Redirect that capacity to strategic oversight, stakeholder management, and ensuring quality outcomes.

Higher MDB approval rates
Documents validated against MDB Procurement Regulations before submission mean fewer rejections, faster approvals, and smoother fund disbursement.

Faster fund disbursement
Remove months from approval cycles, accelerating the flow of development funds from commitment to implementation.
