In that spirit, the IMF will be hosting an Economic Forum, to which you are invited, that will summarize and assess these ideas in the context of debt relief, the "politics" of social safety nets, program design, data gathering, and the roles of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in fostering innovative approaches to implementing effective poverty reduction strategies.
