Strengthening UN-IFI Collaboration

The power of multilateralism lies in the ability to galvanize global resources—human, financial, technological, and others—towards addressing pressing challenges at the global, regional, and country-level. Having a strong partnership between the UN, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is vital as they play a critical role supporting the global development process. It has become apparent that collaboration between the UN and the International Financial Institutions (IMF and World Bank) is vital for effectively understanding how macroeconomic risks interact with political risks in contributing to fragility, conflict, and violence. Thus, this program was born.

Strengthening Collaboration Between the UN and International Financial Institutions

CIC has been implementing this program, which is aimed at supporting dialogue between the UN and IFIs that prioritizes finding actionable ideas for enhancing links between their work.

The objectives of this program include:

  • Inter-organizational learning occurring through CIC-facilitated exchanges between the UN and the IFIs.
  • Deepened country/region-specific understanding of opportunities, benefits, and modalities for UN-IFI collaboration.
  • Member states improving their coherence and alignment in the signals they provide in UN-IFI governing bodies.
