This joint IPU-World Bank survey is the first attempt to paint a global picture of parliamentary oversight related to World Bank and IMF lending and related processes - such as the adoption of Poverty Reduction Strategies Papers (PRSPs) and IMF macroeconomic surveillance. Involving almost 100 developing countries, the study was carried out as part of IPU’s goal of improving development results by strengthening the accountability role of parliaments.
