Honourable Henrik Dam Kristensen,
On behalf of the Parliamentary Network on the World Bank & IMF, it is my pleasure to invite you to the
2020 Global Parliamentary Conference from 13 to 14 April 2020 in Washington D.C.,
jointly organised with
the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund. The theme of this
year’s
conference is
Delivering for Development and Prosperity in the next Decade -
what role for Parlia e taria s?
With the year 2030 just ten years away, the next Global Parliamentary Conference will examine how our
actions today will enable
us to a hie e targets su h as the World Ba k’s t i goals of e di g
extreme
poverty and boosting shared prosperity, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in time. Progress
has been made in critical areas, such as a decline in extreme poverty, a decrease in infant mortality, and
access to electricity for the majority
of the orld’s populatio s. Ho e er, u h re ai s to e
accomplished as climate change continues exacerbating vulnerabilities to natural disasters; fragility, conflict
and violence hinder our efforts to end extreme poverty; and social and economic disparities within
countries are on the rise.
The sessions will highlight concrete strategies Parliamentarians can implement
today to achieve our development and prosperity targets over the next decade.
The International Secretariat of the Parliamentary Network will prepare the event programme and send it
to you in due time.
