The World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) place a high priority on civil society engagement. Thus, in cooperation with the Civil Society Policy Forum (CSPF) Working Group, we launched the call for proposals for a CSPF to take place during the World Bank-IMF Spring Meetings (SMs) 2025, tentatively from April 22-25 in Washington, D.C.
The call for proposals was open to civil society organizations (CSOs) and CSO networks. The World Bank and IMF review committee, with the help of the CSPF Working Group, will select proposals that contribute to a diverse and comprehensive forum. The call for proposals ended on February 27, 2025.
Session organizers will be notified if their session has been selected for inclusion in the CSPF by late March.
The CSPF Working Group members are elected every two years by CSOs who have attended Spring and Annual Meetings in the past. The current CSPF Working Group members are serving a term that runs from January 1, 2025 for two years.
Date: April 22 - 25, 2025 ET
