This project builds on
the previous four years’
work. As in the past, We
the peoples… 2006 and
2007 will focus on
monitoring, informing
and encouraging the
contribution of civil
society organizations as
part of the continuing
mobilization to make
poverty history.
The project will aim to
result in increased
attention to the
mid-term review in 2007
of progress towards
achieving the MDGs, and
ahead of the G-8
meetings in Germany.
There will be four
elements:
1.Taking stock:
NSI will map civil
society evaluations of
the achievements and
limitations of the
global and national
campaigns in 2005, and
document the new
directions and
objectives which are
emerging.
2. National
focus: in collaboration
with civil society
organizations and
researchers, NSI will
solicit the experiences,
achievements and policy
reform input of CSOs in
three or more diverse
developing countries –
at the national and
sub-national levels.
These will likely
include Mozambique and Zambia.
3. Global
inquiry: building on
four years of
cross-regional multi
lingual surveys of CSOs
regarding the MDGs, NSI
will undertake a further
future-oriented global
inquiry and examine
trends and new
developments.
4. Advocacy:
utilizing results of
national inquiries and
the global survey, and
involving participants
from the national
case-studies we will
establish overall
findings and
recommendations, develop
an overall report, and
contribute to policy
enhancement through an
international working
session and
representations to
global and national
decision-makers.
