The  Doha Civil Society Forum, titled 'Investing in People Centred  
Development',  _concluded  its first day_ 
(http://www.un-ngls.org/site/doha2008_article.php3?id_article=627)  after a thorough discussion on issues related to 
Financing  for Development (FfD), examinations of the Draft Outcome Document of the  
Official Conference and the Civil Society Declaration which will be the final 
 outcome of the Forum.  This declaration will be delivered on the first  day 
of the Conference on 29 November.

H.E. Mohammed Abdullah Mutib Al  Rumaihi, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs 
for Qatar opened the Forum and  wished them success in their work.  Roberto 
Bisssio, Coordinator of  Social Watch, gave the keynote address.  After 
reviewing the status of  intergovernmental negotiations on the draft outcome document, 
the participants  separated into breakout groups on the six chapters of the 
Monterrey Consensus.  The impacts of the current crises – financial, food, fuel 
and climate change –  were also a central theme of discussions throughout the 
 day.
