Qatar has played its part in the debate on development-centered globalisation by hosting the Civil Society Forum in Doha in parallel with the 13th session of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD XIII).
The Civil Society Forum brought together 400 delegates representing social movements, pro-development groups, women’s groups, trade unions, agricultural organisations, environmental organisations, faith-based organisations and fair trade organisations. They saw the forum as an opportunity to present their vision “for future sustainable solutions in a turbulent world”.
