World Organisation of Building Officials (WOBO) is the global association of building officials that promote the interests and technical standards of building officials.[1] An association with the United Nations is to act as a clearing house of technical information on behalf of member states. For example, members have a role in the World Urban Forum, held in June 2006 in Canada. WOBO was founded in 1984 at a conference of representatives from ten nations meeting in Saskatoon.
