Open Forum Thematic Consultations
As part of the CSO consultation process of the Open Forum, civil society also undertook six (6) cross-cutting thematic consultations. These were:
- CSOs and Gender
- Trade Unions
- International CSOs (ICSOs)
- CSOs and the Environment
- CSOs working in Situations of Conflict
- CSOs working with Marginalized Groups
All of these thematic consultations were global in nature, and all fed into the final outcome of the Open Forum process: the International Framework for CSO Development Effectiveness.
