UPDATE ON NGO ACTIVITIES

Billie Miller of the NGO Planning Committee for the ICPD gave a brief presentation on NGO preparations for Cairo. She said that the NGO Planning Committee disseminated the annotated outline to 1500 NGOs. The ICPD and the NGO Forum are two sides of the same coin -- the policies endorsed at the ICPD will be incomplete without the participation of the NGO community. Approximately 10,000 NGOs are expected at the NGO Forum. She urged governments to include NGO representatives on their official delegations at PrepCom III and the Conference. She closed by asking governments to provide financial support for the NGO Forum and invited every delegate to attend.
