Civil Society on the Summit - Where do we go from here?
|
Debate
|
| |
September 4; 14h00-16h00; Boell Forum -- Civil
Society on the Summit - Where do we go from here? The
World Summit has seen an unprecedented participation of
civil society organisations from all regions. On the other
hand, the geographic dispersion of civil society over
different venues and the lack of strategic coordination
in the lead-up to the Summit have lead to criticism that the
civil society's showing at the Summit was disappointing and
less effective than it could have been. The Heinrich Boell
Foundation has invited five discussants from different sectors
of the international NGO community to share and discuss their
observations on how civil society did in Jo'burg and where
we should go from here. We are looking forward to a fruitful
discussion. MORE

The Summit: A Contribution to Fairness in a Fragile World?
|
Discussion
|
| |
September 4; 18h15-19h45; Ubuntu Village -- The
Summit from a Jo'burg Memo Perspective: A Contribution to
Fairness in a Fragile World? The Jo'burg Memo provides
a critical analysis of the 10 years since Rio, its merits
and failures. It develops a Johannesburg Agenda for fairness
in a fragile world, and presents a set of proposals for this
Summit and the years ahead. At the time of this debate, the
summit will be over. In this debate, we want to discuss the
outcomes of the summit from the perspective present in the
Jo'burg Memo. Did the summit strengthen citizens and livelihood
rights? How did he contribute to fairness between the globalized
rich and the localized poor? Did we advance towards "Fair
wealth"? MORE
