From 9 to 11 October Peru is hosting this year’s World Bank and IMF annual meetings, where their  governors will gather in Lima. To coincide, a coalition of almost twenty Peruvian CSOs has organised an alternative summit (from 7 to 9 October), titled ¿Trabajando por un mundo libre pobreza?, inviting participants from around the world to discuss the role of international financial institutions and alternative approaches. A dedicated page on our website will provide analysis of the communiqués, notes from CSO meetings – including seminars held at the alternative summit – background information on the annual meetings, the summit and CSO mobilisation.
