The Civil Society Programme took place on Wednesday 11 May and Thursday 12 May and provided an opportunity for dialogue between civil society and EBRD staff, senior management, the President and Board Directors.

The Programme also featured multi-stakeholder roundtable sessions on key strategic themes related to the role of civil society as an important actor in transition and development processes. Special features of the Civil Society Programme 2016 were discussions on:
•25 years of Transition - The Role of Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia
•Engaging civil society to promote transparent procurement
•EBRD’s Strategy for the Promotion of Gender Equality (2016-2020): the role of civil society
•Inclusion through skills and innovatiom
In addition, a panel organised by the youth organisation AIESEC looked at the role of youth in shaping the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
25 years of Transition: The Role of Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia
A fire-side chat with Sergei Guriev, Professor of Economics, Sciences Po (incoming EBRD Chief Economist)
Civil society, operating in the space between public and private sectors, has played an important role in socio-political and economic transition processes around the world, including the EBRD’s traditional countries of operations. In 25 years since the establishment of the EBRD, civil society’s contribution to transition has varied across the post-communist transition region. In some countries, the work of civil society organisations (CSOs) has contributed to more democratic political systems and more open market based economies as a ‘reputational actor’ performing a ‘watchdog’ function and as a generator of ‘social capital’ necessary to sustain the change process through the difficult early years. In other countries, the focus of CSOs has been on providing a variety of social services particularly to disadvantaged and vulnerable people negatively affected by the transition process. Many civil society actors have been operating in restrictive regulatory environments, and have relied heavily on international donor funding.
What has been civil society’s input into promoting good governance, sustainable development and economic inclusion in EBRD’s traditional region over the past few decades? What are the key lessons learned, from both its successes and failures that can be applied to other countries embarking on a transition process? What steps could be taken to increase the role of civil society in promoting positive changes in societies and economies?
The discussion looked back at the key achievements and setbacks of the civil society sector in contributing to transition since the Bank’s establishment. It also reflected upon the challenges ahead for civil society in building well-governed, sustainable and inclusive economies and societies.

Location Made Abingdon
Engine 4cyl, 1798cc, 95bhp

From its introduction in 1962, the MGB was extremely successful, especially in the USA. Over 512,880 cars were built, with 125,621 GT models, the rest being roadster models and it became the best selling British sports car ever.
With around 250,000 MGBs still in existence world-wide, it was an obvious first choice when British Motor Heritage decided to re-manufacture original bodyshells.
The new MGB bodyshell was launched in 1988 at the NEC Classic Motor Show, where this 1969 car was rebuilt during the Show using the first new bodies.
Following the Motor Show the car appeared in 'Classic Cars' magazine and featured on the BBC programme 'Top Gear'. It was later auctioned and the proceeds of £13,500 donated to charity.

Safe and Fair programme, through a partnership with Raks Thai Foundation, promoted Thai language lessons to Cambodian migrant workers and their family members in Rayong Province. The Thai lessons included information about how to stay safe during COVID-19, labour rights and gender-based violence. The language lessons aimed to provide women migrant workers and their family members with basic knowledge of Thai that can be used in daily life and enable them to have improved access to information and services, especially if their rights are violated or if they experience violence.
