World Bank Group team working on Belarus invites representatives of civil society organizations to participate in a consultation meeting on a proposed World Bank Group Country Partnership Strategy for Belarus over the next four years.

The WBG is holding a series of consultations with key stakeholders to obtain a wide range of perspectives on Belarus’s development priorities, challenges, and opportunities in such areas as economic competitiveness, human development, infrastructure services and delivery of global public goods. In particular, we would like to hear civil society’s feedback on approaches to supporting the governance and social accountability agenda, the existing mechanisms and possible new frameworks for participation of beneficiaries in World Bank Group supported programs.

This Country Partnership Strategy outlines the level and type of support the World Bank Group will provide to the country and will be closely aligned with the needs of the people and the country’s development priorities.

The meeting will take place at the World Bank Belarus Country Office (2A Gertsena Str., Minsk, Belarus) on April 4th, 2013 from 14.00 to 16.00 Minsk time. Please confirm your attendance by email binfo@worldbank.org by March 28, 2013.
