The project focuses on the World Bank and the IMF to challenge their power, open policy space, and promote alternative approaches. We do this because these institutions are influential funders, proponents and enforcers of economic and development policies, and global opinion formers. They serve as an information provider, watchdog, networker and advocate. They provide information for the benefit of civil society groups, official institutions, research institutes, governments and parliaments across the world. The project acts as a network hub in the UK and works with civil society - in Europe and internationally - to change the Bank and the Fund. Priority areas include:
- The roles of the World Bank and IMF
- Structural adjustment & poverty reduction strategies (PRS)
- Environmental impacts and climate change finance
- Social issues
- IFI governance and accountability
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
