Global Parliamentary Conference 2019 | The World Bank | 8 April 2019 | The World Bank Group, 1818 H St NW, Washington, DC 20433, USA

The Parliamentary Network on the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (the PN) was initially founded in 2000 as an independent, non-governmental organization providing a platform for Parliamentarians from all IMF and WB member countries to advocate for increased accountability and transparency in development cooperation. The Parliamentary Network has over 1000 parliamentarians in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas, supported by its international secretariat and guided by its Board.

The PN has unique access to the World Bank and the IMF and many PN activities are undertaken in partnership with the IMF and the World Bank, including its Global Conference, which also doubles as its General Assembly.
