The Civil Society Policy Forum (CSPF) provides 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 topics are selected from submissions sent to us by CSOs during a call for proposals.

The CSPF will convene in Washington DC from April 18 to 21, 2017, in the World Bank’s I Building. CSO registration for the Annual Meetings and the CSPF will open in mid-February.

Please feel free to view the World Bank’s CSPF website, which provides further information on the Forum, including the Call for Proposals and Registration. The link to this website is provided below.
