CIVICUS World Assembly
"Acting together for a just world"

CIVICUS will convene its fifth biennial World Assembly in Gaborone,
Botswana from 21-25 March 2004.

The World Assembly is a primary venue for civil society and other
stakeholders to exchange information about their achievements and
challenges. Hundreds of citizen groups and CIVICUS members will explore
options to enhance citizen engagement in decision-making at all levels
of governance, as well as examine issues of social and economic justice
in a globalised world. Through learning exchanges and plenary sessions,
participants will look at ways to strengthen the governance and
legitimacy of civil society organisations and defend the rights of civic
association.

There will be four main themes: (1) fuelling civic energy; (2)
livelihood insecurity: innovative solutions seeking to open doors; (3)
democratising power: civic engagement in decision-making; and (4)
keeping the peace or fanning the flames. Cross-cutting themes include
HIV/AIDS; gender equity and equality; young people; capacity-building;
and socially marginalised groups.

To read the World Assembly call for proposals, or for more information
about the World Assembly, go to http://www.civicus.org or email David
Kalete, Programmes Director [email protected]. The deadline
for proposals is 30 September 2003.
