The program will include working sessions with local parliamentarians and officials from Government, the IMF and World Bank teams in Kenya, civil society and private sector representatives, as well as project visits and meetings with beneficiaries.
The visit, which will run up until February 23, 2017, seeks to enhance parliamentary understanding of the activities of the IMF and the World Bank at the country level.
It seeks to review the participatory nature and outcome of Kenya’s national development plan, and the role of the Kenyan legislature therein.
It also seeks to share experience among local and international parliamentarians about respective actions in their countries;
The PN is a network of over 1000 parliamentarians from World Bank and IMF member countries which advocates for strengthened accountability and transparency in International Financial Institutions (IFIs) by involving elected representatives in their work.
