Relations with Non-Governmental Organizations
Although the Bank has no formal mechanism for consultative status, there are clear operational rules for collaboration with NGOs working at a project level, usually in a tripartite arrangement with the Bank and the host government. 'World Bank NGO Unit' supports and guides Bank staff in improving and strengthening their relations with NGOs, which collaborate in over one third of Bank-supported projects. U-XM1466 - World Bank - Civil Society Joint Facilitation Committee (JFC) which is serviced by IBRD and which promotes collaboration in joint-sponsored development activities, provides an ongoing forum within which senior World Bank officials and developed and developing country NGO leaders exchange ideas.
