The Civil Society Policy Forum will be held in Washington, DC, from April 17-19.
The Civil Society Policy Forum (CSPF) has become an integral part of the World Bank -International Monetary Fund Spring and Annual Meetings, providing an open space for Civil Society Organizations from all over the world (CSOs)* to dialogue and exchange views with World Bank Group and IMF staff, their peers, government delegations, and other stakeholders on a wide range of topics.
The CSPF was held from April 17-19, 2024. The CSPF hosted 27 CSO-led sessions on priority development issues, including climate, human development, gender, agriculture, governance, accountability, citizen engagement, and financing. These sessions were selected in coordination with the CSPF Working Group.
