parliamentary groups to promote promising strategies for enhancing the
democratic governance and parliamentary oversight of the international financial
institutions (IFIs), namely the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF),
and regional development banks. This public seminar will highlight the DGPO
project's ongoing research agenda and activities of leading country partners in
Brazil, Ghana, India, and Indonesia to strengthen the capacity of civil society
organizations (CSOs) to support and to promote parliamentary initiatives that
enhance the accountability of the IFIs at the national, regional and global
levels. Panelists include: Marcus de Faro (Rede Brasil, Brazil); Smitu Kothari
(Intercultural Resources, India); Chris Wangkay (INFID, Indonesia); and Jim
Riker (New Rules for Global Finance).
