The “Demand for Good Governance Learning Summit” will bring together practitioners and analysts working to promote and enhance transparency, social accountability, and governance from diverse sectoral, regional, and organizational perspectives from within the World Bank Group and outside. Hosted by the Demand for Good Governance (DFGG) Peer Learning Network, which was launched in December 2007, the Summit will be held at the World Bank Group in Washington DC, USA, on June 2-3, 2008 in JB1-080.
