EuroNGOs Conference and AGM 2009
“Investing in Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in Times of Economic Crisis”
7-8 September 2009, Riga, Latvia
Learning about the options and possibilities to mitigate the impact of the current financial crisis and protecting both SRH and SRHR spending internationally is crucial for a Civil Society network such as EuroNGOs if it wants to maintain vigilance with regard to the SRHR commitments of governments, donors and international agencies.
Therefore, EuroNGOs Conference and AGM 2009 will deal with the possibilities and challenges of "Investing in Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in Times of Economic Crisis." Hosted by EuroNGOs Latvian member organisation “Papardes Zieds - Latvia's Association for Family Planning and Sexual Health”, it will take place 7-8 September 2009 in Riga, Latvia.
EuroNGOs member and partner organisation from the EU member states, the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, as well as representatives from partner organizations from the Global South, Representatives from private foundations, UNFPA, WHO, the European Commission, the Baltic Parliaments and Baltic development cooperation agencies are invited to lively discussions and workshops aimed at enhancing understanding of the current and possible future impact of the global economic crisis on SRHR and SRHR funding streams.
Taking place immediately after the "Global Partners in Action: NGO Forum for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Development", 2-4 September in Berlin, Germany, this year's EuroNGOs conference is also perfectly placed to take up the outcomes of the Berlin conference. Looking ahead and beyond the “final” landmark dates of both ICPD at 15 and the MDGs in 2015, the EuroNGOs platform will use these outcomes as a ground of discussion to develop an action plan for the years ahead.
