Queridas amigas,
Rosa nos ha enviado la declaración que prepararon las mujeres en el marco
del foro de la sociedad civil en Doha. También ha compartido las
experiencias que están teniendo nuestras compañeras con un intenso trabajo,
dado que las negociacones no están resultando fáciles. Hemos recibido de
Fernanda de AWID dicha declaración ya traducida al español y la hacemos
llegar a todas ustedes. Las que quieran pueden agregar su firma durante el
día de hoy.
Saludos a todas!
Ana

>> Dear colleagues,
>>
>> The second and final day of the Civil Society Forum began with a
>> variety of self-organized seminars and workshops ranging from
>> bridging the funding gap: MDGs through innovative funding
>> mechanisms; Reaching for Tax Justice - CSO perspectives on how to
>> capture more funds for national development; to illegitimate debt,
>> reality of aid policies and the GCAP co-sponsored session on the
>> F's crises: Financial, Food and Fuel. It seemed like NGO reps
>> were multi-tasking all day since declarations and statements were
>> being drafted and edited throughout the day as well! I attended
>> the Women setting the Agenda: Women's Human Rights, Right to
>> Development and FfD session which was a workshop "addressing the
>> centrality of gender equality to the FfD agenda,...building upon
>> women's movements proposals to all the FfD chapters." The outputs
>> were inputs into the Forum Declaration, as well as a Women's
>> Statement (attached--with a sign-on deadline of Nov. 28!!!). We
>> also strategized on the Draft Outcome Document and current
>> negotiations, and planned advocacy for the Sheraton, site of the
>> official conference beginning in two days, Nov. 29.
>>
>> The plenaries provided much food for thought. One interesting
>> intervention came from someone who wasn't on the agenda, Oscar de
>> Rojas, the Executive Director of the FfD Office. He provided some
>> insight into the state of play around the negotiations and urged
>> NGOs to do what we do best and that's encourage governments to
>> deliver at this conference. Negotiations continue and apparently
>> things are as one unnamed delegate (not Oscar) described as "very
>> critical." Amb. Abdelaziz, one of the co-chairs of the
>> negotiations who was scheduled to be on the programme, was unable
>> to join us for the closing plenary. There was talk of governments
>> wanting to abandon the negotiations and instead agree to a one
>> pager stating they had reaffirmed the Monterrey Consensus,
>> although this would surely indicate a collapse of the FfD
>> process. The G-20 meeting a couple of weeks ago has cast a long
>> shadow over the FfD negotiations and threatens to be a power grab
>> rather than having those negotiations fall under the umbrella of
>> the UN. The non G-8 countries within the G-20 are silent within
>> the FfD process. The US is said to be playing hard-ball during the
>> final days of a lame duck administration. Only 50 Heads of State
>> are planning to attend the conference (about the same number as
>> Monterrey), however this list does not include the head of the
>> country where the financial crisis is taking place--the USA. Even
>> Calderon, Mexico's president. who was thought to attend for
>> historical reasons, among others, connected to the Monterrey
>> Conference, has bowed out. Most will arrive Saturday, give their
>> speech and press conferences on Sunday, then slip out of the
>> country to leave the nitty gritty details to be worked out at the
>> ministerial level.
>>
>> Tomorrow NGOs will have the first press conference focusing on
>> certain key points, two being the centrality of financing a
>> people-centered development and pressing for an
>> effective follow-up mechanism within the UN. Gemma Adaba (ITUC)
>> has been selected to present the civil society statement on the
>> morning of the first opening plenary (a prime spot for NGOs who
>> usually get the last slot around midnight on the last day of a
>> conference/summit). Many NGO representatives from the South who
>> are unable to afford the next four days left today, having been
>> funded only for the Forum. The Forum Declaration is being
>> finalized tomorrow morning to have ready for the press conference.
>> It includes a laundry list of points and demands.
>>
>> On a personal note, I must say I've never experienced a
>> Thanksgiving holiday like this one ever---grabbing a meal in 15
>> minutes and eating curry instead of home-cooked turkey and
>> fixings. With events like those in Mumbai in the back of our
>> minds, a few of us at dinner raised our glasses and expressed
>> sincere thanks for all, for so much with which we are blessed.
>>
>> Working on adrenaline and coffee during the day and staying up
>> late in a time warp means little sleep for many of us in Doha! I
>> accompanied a colleague with a serious case of red eye to the Doha
>> Hamad General Hospital for free medical service the other night.
>> That experience alone is a separate blog entry!
>>
>> Best,
>> Rosa
