The Parliamentary Network on the World Bank & IMF Field (PN) visit to Indonesia, 1-4 February 2016
Dear Honourable Nick Hækkerup,
On behalf of the Parliamentary Network on the World Bank & IMF (PN), we would like to invite you to
be part of the Parliamentary Field visit in Indonesia from 1-4 February 2016. The program will include
working sessions with local parliamentarians and officials from Government, the IMF and World Bank
teams in Indonesia, civil society and private sector representatives, as well as project visits and meetings
with beneficiaries.
The aim of this upcoming visit would be to:
Enhance, through a field visit to Indonesia, parliamentary understanding of the activities of the
IMF and the World Bank at the country level;
Review the participatory nature and outcome of Indonesia’s national development plan, and the
role of the Indonesian legislature therein;
Share experience among local and international parliamentarians about respective actions in
their countries;
Parliamentarians are key stakeholders in the implementation and oversight of the Sustainable
Development Goals. There is a unique responsibility of elected parliamentarians to be the bridge
between governments and citizens and field visits such as this one aim to strengthen MP’s commitment
to work towards poverty eradication and sustainable development. In order to influence development
policies in their home parliaments, it is very helpful if parliamentarians have the opportunity to assess
the development efforts and related results first hand.
The PN is a network of over 1500 parliamentarians from 140 World Bank and IMF member countries to
purposefully strengthen accountability and transparency of International Financial Institutions (IFIs) by
involving elected representatives in their work.
Please indicate your interest in this field visit by sending an email to
