The Conference of NGOs in
Consultative Relationship with the United Nations (CONGO) and the African
Women's Development and Communication Network (FEMNET) organizes in cooperation
with the Economic Commision for Africa (ECA) and the African Union (AU) the
African Civil Society Forum "Democratizing Governance at Regional and Global
Level to Achieve the MDGs" to be held between 22-24 March 2007 in Addis Ababa,
Ethiopia. The purpose of the Forum is to bring together representatives of
national, regional and international NGOs from Africa to explore the most
effective ways to partner with and impact on African institutions: the African
Union, the UN Economic Commission for Africa and the New Partnership for African
Development (NEPAD). This Forum is part of CONGO's outreach program, in which -
in the past five years - we have organized civil society fora (twice in Asia and
once in Latin America), aimed at bringing the UN agenda into the regions and the
regional input back to the global level. The African Civil Society Forum 2007
will therefore raise NGOs' awareness of the issues on the UN agenda, most
notably the Millennium Declaration and the Millennium Development
Goals.
