The NGO Global Meeting will be held as part of the conference in Mexico from 23-25 August 2010. The conference organizers are seeking “an equitable participation of the NGOs of Member States of the United Nations in a number of people that can make it possible for a discussion and an establishment of agreements.”
It is expected that the meeting will have the participation of representatives of 400 civil society organizations working on youth affairs around the world. The Organizing Committee of the conference will cover the travel and accommodation expenses of the delegates who will participate in the NGO Global Meeting. The selection of the participating NGOs of the Forum will be in the hands of the Organizing Committee of the Conference in coordination with the Social Forum Organizing Committee (SOFOC). As a result of the NGO Global Meeting, a recommendations document will be generated which will be delivered to the Governments Forum and to the Legislators Forum at the beginning of their work to be considered in their deliberations.
“The aim of the NGO Global Meeting is to identify action priorities about youth to be attended in the international agenda of development further than the Millennium Development Goals. This meeting will host more than 420 participants that will generate a recommendation document which will be delivered to the Governments Forum at the beginning of their work on Wednesday, August 25th so that it can be considered in their deliberations. Likewise, the recommendation document will be delivered to the Parliamentarians Forum with the aim of including in their deliberations the demands and necessities identified during the NGO Global Meeting.”
Participants should be nominated by youth organizations; they should respect the cultural, religious and ideological diversity of the human kind, including the human rights and to show the will of contributing to the accomplishments of the Millennium Development Goals and the World Programme of Action for Youth; they should have efficient and effective programs that are focused in youth and development that have an impact at a local, national and/or international level; and they should be between 18 and 35 years before 9 April 2010.
