Global Financing Facility

The Civil Society Policy Forum (CSPF) has become an integral part of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank Group Spring and Annual Meetings, providing an open space for Civil Society Organizations (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 program will include an orientation session on the World Bank Group; a roundtable with World Bank Group Executive Directors; a Town Hall meeting with World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim and IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde; a CSO reception with senior management of both institutions; and about 40, mainly CSO-organized, policy dialogue sessions that reflect the diversity of CSO policy concerns.

Leslie Elder, Senior Nutrition Specialist with the Global Financing Facility, will participate in the “Innovative Financing Mechanisms for Nutrition: How Civil Society Can Take Action and Keep Governments Accountable” session that will take place from 1:30 - 3:00 pm EST on October 4, 2016.

The sessions will be open to all participants who have registered for the 2016 Annual Meetings.
