18 April – CRI Index Presented at CSO Innovation Fair in Washington
DFI and Oxfam presented the Commitment to Reducing Inequality Index (CRII) at the CSO Innovation Fair on 18 April 2018 in Washington, in the margins of the Spring Meetings of the IMF and the World Bank.
Held for the first time in the World Bank Atrium, the Fair gave CSOs an opportunity to showcase their projects, innovative products, flagship reports, and ground-breaking campaigns that produce improved development outcomes and contribute to a continued dialogue.
More than 150 participants at the Spring Meetings – including delegates from 52 countries, BWI staff and CSO representatives, stopped at the DFI-Oxfam stall and had the opportunity to explore the Index, enquire about the methodology, and discuss the data findings and the policy solutions (social spending, progressive taxation and labour rights) to fight inequality promoted by DFI and Oxfam. The next edition of the CRII is due to be launched at the Annual Meetings of the BWIs in Bali in October.
