ACCREDITATION PROCESS FOR 2006 ANNUAL MEETINGS NOW ON
CSO ACCREDITATION PROCESS FOR THE 2006 ANNUAL MEETINGS OF THE IMF AND THE WORLD BANK NOW OPENThe 2006 Annual Meetings of Boards of Governors of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank Group (WB) will be held in Singapore between September 13-20.
All CSO representatives who wish to participate in the 2006 Annual Meetings will need to obtain formal accreditation. The accreditation system is fully web-based. It opened on June 2 and will close on August 4, 2006. If you are planning to attend the Annual Meetings, please apply for accreditation as early as possible. Please note that no applications will be accepted past the deadline.
As in previous years, the Civil Society Teams at the Bank and IMF will organize a Civil Society Forum for accredited CSOs during the 2006 Annual Meetings.
We would like to encourage representatives from established CSOs that focus on development issues and other issues relevant to the work of the World Bank and the IMF, and have a track record in these areas, to apply for accreditation.
Please note that at the present time the World Bank and the IMF do not have any funding to enable CSO participation in the Annual Meetings. Accredited CSOs are responsible for obtaining a visa, if necessary, to enter Singapore. Information on visa requirements
