THE COMMONWEALTH PEOPLES FORUM-Chogm Uganda

The Commonwealth as usual supported and facilitated a pan Commonwealth process of civil society dialogue and interaction, prior to the CPF drawing on national, regional and international processes that will culminate with the Committee of the Whole, which takes place in September/October 2007. The outcomes of the Committee of the Whole will feed into the CHOGM communiqué in Uganda. This was at RCS yesterday

The aims of the Commonwealth People's Forum to be held in kampala are:
To raise the visibility of civil society organisations in the Commonwealth;
To create partnerships in the quest for development and democracy; strengthen links between Commonwealth civil society organisations;
To create opportunities for dialogue between civil society and government ministers on priority issues in the Commonwealth; and
To provide opportunities for that dialogue to be raised and addressed at the CHOGM.

The CPF is a unique event that is coming to Uganda in 2007. It will provide both Ugandan and pan-Commonwealth civil society an opportunity to discuss issues affecting their work and their countries. Civil society will then have an opportunity to feed their concerns to their governments during the CHOGM, which will also be held in Uganda later in the same week. A successful CPF, heralds a successful CHOGM. It is an opportunity for dialogue within civil society and with governments.
The last CPF was also the first time that a head of state engaged formally with civil society at a CPF, when President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda addressed a special session.

The steering committee will meet regularly and maintain good links between the Foundation and the host government during the planning stage. This will enable good lines of communications with the CHOGM team and increase the access to governments by civil society.
