In 2024, on the 80th anniversary of the World Bank and the IMF, the liberal consensus long upheld by these institutions was increasingly challenged amid escalating global crises and highly constrained fiscal space for economic development in low- and middle-income countries as well as advanced economies.

In this challenging advocacy context, BWP continued to support global civil society in pushing for transformative change, advocating for a multilateral system that is democratic, inclusive, transparent, accountable and responsive to people, especially the poorest and most vulnerable.

With the aim to address these challenges, in 2024 the Project focused its work on four key advocacy areas: Gender equality and macroeconomics, the environment, governance reform and accountability, and financialisation and human rights.
