We need your help.

If we’re really to get under the skin of the battle to be next World Bank president, we’re going to need your help.

Four things you can do (in no particular order)…

1. Keep coming back as often as possible (we recommend daily as things hot up).

2. Email a recommendation to all your friends and contacts (yes all of them - we promise they’re all going to be very interested).

3. Link to us from your website. We know there are thousands of sites out there that track the World Bank’s activities. It’d be great if you could let your readers know we exist (do tell us if you put a link up).

4. Syndicate content to your site (using the xml, rss 1.0 or rss 2.0 feeds - these will work for your offline news readers too).

Contact us (email or phone) if you hear any news or gossip. Maybe you work for the Bank, a government, or are a journalist following the story. We’d love to publish any rumours that stand up (or can at least stagger around a bit).

Get in touch with your reaction to any President related news (here’s how). The World Bank is a powerful institution and its President is important for people across the globe. We’d love to hear your thoughts either by email (we’ll print a selection of letters we receive)or in the comments windows annexed to selected posts. (Please also tell us straight away if you see any flame mail or advertising we should delete from the comments).

Finally, feel free to use this site as a source - either on the web (with a link please) or in print (attribute to the worldbankpresident.org). Journalists can also contact us for an interview or quick quote.
