Going to an event at the 2015 World Bank Group-International Monetary Fund Annual Meetings in Lima, Peru can be a daunting exercise. There are meetings at all hours of the day. Several meetings that you would have wanted to go to are running conjointly or are only attended by professionals. Not so with the Civil Society Townhall. Anyone and everyone with ideas or just recriminations can address their complaints or queries directly to the President of the World Bank Group, Jim Yong Kim, or the Managing Director of the IMF, Christine Lagarde. It’s democracy at work.
