Regional Civil Society Consultations

In the first half of December 2004 over 500 people from 49 countries were consulted in five flagship regional consultation events. Results supported the thrust of the consultation document but also provided new ideas and evidence. Many participants stressed the need for African solutions and for the Commission to work within the AU/ NEPAD framework. All reports presented below were produced and endorsed by event participants.
