The Parliamentary Relations Team

The Parliamentary Relations Team at the World Bank Group's European Office in Paris is a key point of contact for parliamentarians and parliamentary organizations interacting with the World Bank Group. The team facilitates policy dialogue with parliamentarians worldwide and acts a matchmaker connecting parliamentarians and parliamentary organizations with relevant Bank units and Country Offices and with other constituencies such as academics and youth.

The Parliamentary Relations Team seeks to:

• Exchange views on development challenges and global issues
• Engage in an in-depth policy dialogue with Parliamentarians 
• Explore possibilities for future consultation and information exchange

Working closely with the Board of the Parliamentary Network on the World (PNoWB), the Parliamentary Relations Team co-organizes a Field Visit program for Parliamentarians and the PNoWB Annual Conference with the Network. The Parliamentary Relations Team also supports the PNoWB's thematic working groups such as the Parliamentarians’ Implementation Watch, HIV/AIDS Committee and the International Trade Working Group. Increasingly, the team also works to promote cooperation with a broad range of parliamentary organizations with regional and thematic focus.

The Parliamentary Relations Team consists of Jakob Kopperud, Esther van Damme and Marie-Noelle Tixeront.
