About the Network
Welcome to the Parliamentary Network
The Parliamentary Network on the World Bank & IMF provides a platform for parliamentarians from over 140 countries to advocate for increased accountability and transparency in International Financial Institutions and multilateral development financing. Since 2000, the Network engages legislators to address development and macroeconomic challenges among other topics, in their home countries and abroad. Directed by a Board elected by their peers, the Network is an independent, non-governmental organization with a secretariat in Paris. Membership is free and open to all elected parliamentarians who hold a current mandate. Members represent themselves and their constituents, not their countries, parliaments or governments.
