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.
• Dr. Kim brings unprecedented experience
and understanding of CSO sector.
• Scaling-up relations with CSOs expected to
be feature of his tenure.
• Most CSOs welcome emphasis on climate
change but some may question energy
choices.
• CSOs supporting new
poverty eradication goal
but not yet sure how
to engage in practice.
