Through engagement with the U.S. Government and Congress, BIC advocates for policymakers to leverage the United States’ leadership at the Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) to strengthen accountability, environmental and social standards, and transparency across the institutions.
BIC calls on Congress to uphold U.S. commitments to the Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) and to champion stronger policies and practices across these institutions. BIC also urges the U.S. to promote greater accountability and transparency throughout replenishment and capital increase negotiations, policy reviews, and project or investment decisions.
BIC co-chairs the Tuesday Group meetings with the U.S. government. These monthly meetings provide opportunities for civil society to bring issues and concerns about MDB programs, policies, and practices to the attention of the U.S. government. If you’re interested in bringing an item to this space, reach out to tuesdaygroup@bankinformationcenter.org.
BIC co-chairs the International Financial Institution (IFI) Working Group. This diverse group of non-profit organizations works to educate U.S. policymakers on the value of informed and effective engagement at the IFIs. To learn more about the coalition, visit ifiworkinggroup.org.
Congress influences U.S. engagement at MDBs by passing laws that guide U.S. voting and policy positions, holding hearings on MDB issues, and overseeing Treasury’s management of U.S. participation at the MDBs.
