Investing in People Centered Development

The Doha Civil Society Organization Forum was held in Doha, Qatar from November 25-27 November 2008 just prior to the Doha International Review Conference on Financing for Development. This forum offered a unique opportunity for NGOs to carry their engagement in the financing for development forward. As this is a "focus area" for the Carmelite NGO, we had representation among the 371 representatives.
