Effective stakeholder engagement is key to ensuring that World Bank-funded projects are inclusive, transparent, and impactful. As a stakeholder, you have the right to information and participation in shaping development projects in your country.

 

You are a stakeholder if your country is one of the 121 low- and middle-income borrowing member countries of the World Bank Group. As a stakeholder, you have the right to information about World Bank-funded projects in your country and a right to participate in a stakeholder engagement process conducted by the Project Implementing Agency.

 

This webinar provided valuable insights into the Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP)—a mandatory component of all World Bank-financed investment projects. This process conducted by the Project Implementing Agency aims to build robust and constructive relations between project authorities and stakeholders for successful implementation.

 

Whether you represent a civil society organization, a community group, or simply want to understand how these projects affect you, this recording will equip you with the knowledge to engage effectively.
