class=title>Editorial - Gearing Up for 2010</SPAN>
<DIV>
<P>Dear Friends & Partners of GCAP,</P>
<P>2010 is a strategic year for Global Call to Action
against Poverty (GCAP) as it serves to mark not one but
two milestones for the ‘world’s largest civil society
alliance’. At one level, it marks the completion of five
years of our existence and therefore a time to celebrate
and evaluate the energies and efforts that have enabled
us to involve 166 countries and over 173 million people
worldwide in our efforts. We have come a long way since
the first ‘call to action’ was launched at Johannesburg
in 2004, and have shared both the victories and anguish
of this journey that has witnessed the ‘call’ for urgent
action by governments for the Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs), against poverty and against inequality
being adopted, adapted and reinforced across regions,
languages and cultures.</P>
<P>2010 also marks the completion of ten years since the
adoption of the Millennium Declaration, and therefore
offers us a significant opportunity to join hands and
take strategic action for the second UN review of the
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) that will be held as
part of the 65th General Assembly of the United Nations
from 20-23rd September this year.</P>
<P>This edition of GCAP’s newsletter accordingly brings
to you the MDG 2010 Action Plan that emerged from the
civil society strategy meeting organized in February,
and the ongoing discussions around the Global Assembly –
and with the objective of infusing you with the
enthusiastic determination that we can make 2010 a truly
memorable year for GCAP both politically and
institutionally.</P>
<P>Through this e-letter, we also express solidarity
with our colleagues and friends in GCAP Chile who have
come together to provide an alternate source of
information and strength for those devastated by the
earthquake on 27 February, and come together to voice
our outrage against the arrest of activists from GCAP
Malawi who have been detained for criticising the
motivations behind the allocation of the youth
development budget in the country. Details of how you
can be involved in supporting these actions are provided
below.</P>
<P>With renewed energies for the ‘fight against
poverty’,</P>
<P>Lysa John</P>
<P>Global Campaign Director, GCAP</P></DIV></DIV>

class=title>“The World We Want” - Outcomes of the MDG
2010 Review Strategy Sharing Meeting</SPAN>
<DIV>
<P>GCAP’s first action this year has been to enable a
Strategy Sharing meeting on the UN MDG Review across
civil society networks. The meeting was co-organized
with Amnesty International, CIVICUS, Social Watch and
the UN Millennium Campaign, and attended by 40
representatives with a strong presence of southern-led
networks. The intense discussions that ensued have
resulted in an ambitious plan for forward looking;
agenda setting; local-to-global action for “the World We
Want” in 2015. Over 650 people came together as part of
the first public mobilization under this slogan
organized by Women for Change as part of “The Zambia We
Want” initiative held in Lusaka on 17 February.</P>
<P>An important outcome from the meetings was the
resolve among those present for us to learn from the
challenges we have faced as civil society across the
last two years, and work to develop a proactive,
post-crises rights agenda that we do not allow
governments to dilute or divide depending on which
global, regional or thematic negotiating table we are
sitting at.</P>
<P>We urge you to plan your own national and thematic
actions leading up to the MDG 2010 Review and share this
with the network to enable a collective voice for ‘the
world we want’.</P>

class=title>Emergency Relief: GCAP Chile reaches out to
those affected by the earthquake</SPAN>
<DIV>
<P>GCAP members in Chile have been active in responding
to the relief response and assessment effort following
the catastrophic earthquake that shook the country on
Saturday, 27 February. GCAP Global Council member,
Viviane Castro reports that while it is true that Chile
is apparently much more prepared than Haiti in many
ways, this disaster has also revealed the weaknesses of
this model of development, where the poorest and
marginalized have – as always – suffered the most.
Public services such as electricity, water, roads and
telecommunications that are privately managed have still
not been fully restored. The government has been clearly
unprepared for the scale of this disaster and appears to
have no means of controlling the resumption of these
facilities. While aid is being received from
abroad and collected locally, distribution remains a key
issue.</P>
<P>GCAP partner and network, ACCION convened a meeting
with member organizations located in the most affected
regions and gathered that while there has been
significant loss to life and property, the emerging need
appears to be for an independent information sharing and
exchange system that enables people on the ground to
locate help, and find ways to overcome their situation.
The network is already issuing a daily bulletin through
two radio stations and via Radio Tierra (<SPAN
class=link-external><A

and other related websites.</P>
<P>GCAP Chile is calling for organizations to come
forward to extend expertise in disaster management,
relief and the coordination of emergency aid. In
addition, they would like groups to help them set up
efficient information sharing platforms, including
community radio stations to strengthen the awareness of
actions that need to be taken in this situation at the
individual, familial and community level.</P>

class=title>Campaign: South Africa Presidency takes note
of Civil Society Expectations for the G20</SPAN>
<DIV>
<P>GCAP South Africa coalition led a delegation to the
South African Presidency to discuss civil society
expectations from the upcoming G20 Summit in Canada on
12th February. The delegation comprised of Sakina
Mohamed, Watson Hamunakwadi, Dennis Howlett and Glenn
Farred. Members of the South African government present
at the meeting included the Deputy Director General in
office of the Presidency, Ms. B. Kunene, a
representative from the Sherpa’s office as well two
delegates from the Department of Foreign Affairs.</P>
<P>In response to the issues raised in the civil society
position paper on the G20 (see below), the government
representatives expressed that the framing of content
and institutions in the “post-crises world order” was a
key priority for their engagement with civil society.
They strongly supported the view for G20 being
accountable to the United Nations, while recognising
that a leaders forum could be instrumental in addressing
certain aspects of concerted global interventions. In
respect of the “At the table” campaign it was supportive
of AU inclusion but pointed out that the broader
question of inclusion and transparency also needed to be
raised in the context of the G20. Finally, they
indicated that the transition process – between the G20
meetings in South Korea and France – represents a moment
for civil society to put its vision and proposals on the
table, an opportunity which may not arise again
soon.</P>

<P>As of June this year, the G20 is set to replace the
G8 as the elite economic forum of world leaders. GCAP is
among the signatories to a statement calling for reforms
in the structure and operation of the G20. Please take
action to review, endorse and lead a delegation to your
government in order to enable a wider dialogue and
acceptance of the issues being raised around the G20.
