INSIDE THE INSTITUTIONS:
THE WORLD BANK AND CIVIL SOCIETY
This article critically discusses the engagement of the
World Bank with Civil Society Organisations (CSO). It
argues that although the Bank officially claims that it
engages with CSOs to be more effective in its operations, unofficially it has no choice but to seek endorsement from increasingly powerful civil society actors to boost the legitimacy of its lending activities.
The article also reviews the actors within the World Bank who work on civil society issues. It concludes that there continues to be resistance within the Bank to cementing its relationship with CSOs and that some staff question both the legitimacy of CSOs and the costs of engagement.
