World Bank Civil Society Policy Forum Spring Meetings 2022

The Civil Society Policy Forum (CSPF) has become an integral part of the World Bank Group-International Monetary Fund 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.

A call for proposals for the 2022 Spring Meetings CSPF closed on February 23, 2022. Selected sessions will be showcased during the CSPF running from April 4 to April 15, 2022.

To attend the CSPF and other events at the Spring Meetings, we invite civil society organizations to register for the SMs. Registrations are now open, and will close on March 28, 2022.

Please note that accreditation approval can take up to two weeks. Thus, we encourage CSOs to register for the SMs at their earliest convenience, to ensure your registration is approved in enough time to participate in the CSPF and other SMs events. Registration requests received after March 23, 2022 may not be approved in enough time to participate in all CSPF or SMs events.
