Corporate Governance

The Global Corporate Governance Forum is an International Finance Corporation (IFC) multi-donor trust fund facility located within IFC Advisory Services. The Forum was co-founded by the World Bank and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 1999.

Through its activities the Forum aims to promote the private sector as an engine of growth, reduce the vulnerability of developing and transition economies to financial crisis, and provide incentives for corporations to invest and perform efficiently in a socially responsible manner. The Forum sponsors regional and local initiatives that address the corporate governance weaknesses of middle- and low-income countries in the context of broader national or regional economic reform programs.

The Forum is currently funded by IFC and the governments of Austria, Canada, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway and Switzerland. In addition, the Forum receives bilateral funding from the government of Japan and Flanders.

The Forum is now under a transitional period of moving from its Phase II to its Phase III. The Forum's new strategy of moving to a full global knowledge management network for Phase III is being formed. Given the current level of work focusing on developing the new strategy and preparing the transition between Phase II and Phase III, the responsiveness to requests or project proposals will not be immediate. We apologize for any inconvenience it might bring to you.
