ODI at the Annual Meetings

ODI is convening a series of events in Marrakech, Morocco during the week of the 2023 World Bank/IMF Annual Meetings.

For more information, including details on how to register, please visit our dedicated Annual Meetings webpage.

Description

This event marks the public launch of the reports of the G20 Independent Expert Group (IEG) on strengthening multilateral development banks (MDBs), appointed under the India G20 Presidency.

The IEG recommends a triple agenda to harness the potential of MDBs: (i) adopting a triple mandate of eliminating extreme poverty, boosting shared prosperity and contributing to global public goods; (ii) tripling sustainable lending levels by 2030; and (iii) creating a third funding mechanism which would permit flexible and innovative arrangements for purposefully engaging with investors who are willing to support elements of the MDB agenda. To achieve these objectives, MDBs have to become better, bolder and bigger institutions by undergoing reform in key areas.

Please note: this hybrid event will take place online and in person at the Kenzi Club Agdal Medina, Bd Mohamed VI, Marrakech 40000, Morocco.
