11. Lessons Learned cont.

12. Lessons Learned cont.
Overall upward trend but uneven coverage and varying quality.
Consultations guidelines will be useful.
Certain areas continue to be more prone to collaboration (education, health, climate change) while others more contentious (energy, safeguards).
New areas emerged this period (information, food security, disaster reaction).
More balanced and mature interaction on both sides (agree to disagree respectfully)
CSOs increasing engagement of Executive Directors.
Inviting CSOs to play deliberative role in governance is significant advancement.

13. Way Forward
Dr. Kim brings unprecedented experience and understanding of CSO sector.
Scaling-up relations with CSOs expected to be feature of his tenure.
CSOs welcoming emphasis on climate change but may question energy choices.
Will CSOs embrace his
ending poverty strategy?
