Thematic Consultations
The Open Forum will also undertake several international thematic consultations that will significantly enrich consensus-building on CSO development effectiveness. It was agreed by the GFG that the priority themes/sectors for these consultations will be:
- Trade Unions
- INGO Outreach
- Gender equality and women’s rights
- Social movements of the most marginalised (rural and landless populations, urban poor)
- CSOs in situations of conflict
These consultations will be happening throught 2010 and 2011, and will be fed into the final Global Report and framework for CSO Development Effectiveness.
