Voting Ballot for CSPF Working Group Elections: 2026-28

The voting period to elect the next Civil Society Policy Forum (CSPF) Working Group is open from November 2 through November 30, 2026.

Who can vote
You are eligible to vote only if you are affiliated with a civil society organization (CSO; see definition below) and have attended the CSPF at least once in the last five years (2022-2026). If you do not meet both criteria, please do not vote. The voting information has been shared with a broad distribution list and published on the WBG website for transparency, but receiving it does not mean you are eligible to vote.
How to vote
The Working Group has eight members, each representing one defined region of constituents.
  • You may vote for one candidate per region. Before voting, please review the short bios and statements of interest of the eligible candidates who were self nominated (see the criteria in the Terms of Reference).
  • If you are unfamiliar with the candidates or the constituency needs of a region, select "No preference" in the drop-down menu for that region.
  • Please vote based on your individual preference, not on behalf of your organization.
  • You may submit only one ballot.
About the CSPF Working Group
The Civil Society Policy Forum (CSPF) Working Group serves as an interlocutor with the World Bank Group (WBG) and International Monetary Fund (IMF) civil society teams to effectively achieve the objectives of the forum as a means for engagement and a platform for a globally and thematically diverse group of civil society to voice their concerns, share ideas and experiences, and dialogue with staff on a wide range of issues and development topics during the Spring and Annual Meetings.
Towards this end, the Working Group will actively contribute to the planning and organization of the CSPF, which is held twice a year at the Spring and Annual Meetings of the two institutions. The Working Group is also tasked with fostering closer dialogue between CSOs and the WBG and IMF on how to improve the CSPF.

Members of the Working Group will serve on a volunteer basis. Neither the World Bank Group, the IMF, or the agencies that comprise them, are obliged to provide financial remuneration for the services and time of the Working Group members. Learn more by reviewing the Terms of Reference and meeting the current Working Group members.
