Media Accreditation

Media Accreditation

Eligibility for press accreditation
Media accreditation for Global Bank is strictly reserved for members of the press (print, radio, TV, news agencies and online media) who represent a bona fide media organization (formally registered as a media organization in a country recognized by the United Nations General Assembly).

Applications are considered on a case-by-case basis. Requests for accreditation can be denied if applicants cannot establish they are professional journalists, or if the applications are incomplete.

The Global Bank accreditation authorities must be satisfied that the individuals applying for accreditation are bona fide media professionals and represent bona fide media organizations.

How to apply
Applicants are required to fill out the accreditation request form that can be accessed here:
