World Bank Group Seeks Input on Civil Society Relations

The World Bank Group is in the process of developing a new strategic priorities framework for civil society relations, which is expected to be finalized by July 2008.

Input will be sought in two phases:

• Phase one will run from March to May and will seek input into a stocktaking exercise of WBG-civil society relations and trends that will help determine how the strategic priorities should be framed.
• Phase two will run from June to July and will seek suggestions for how WBG-civil society relations could be improved.
