From October 2000 until September 2002, Peter Willetts was on research leave, to work on a project as part of the Globalisation and Poverty Research Programme of the Department for International Development. His contribution, under the title Civil Society Networks in Global Governance was on the analysis of NGO participation in the UN Commission on Sustainable Development and the World Bank NGO Committee, with a view to proposing a formal procedure for NGOs to participate in the work of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
