EuroNGOs Conference and AGM
“Investing in Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in Times of Economic Crisis”
7-8 September 2009, Riga, Latvia
As the SRHR community faces the challenges of the global financial and economic crises – while also considering the opportunities they might present – it is understood that collaboration and partnership with NGOs around the world, who are working towards the same objectives, is vital.
Therefore, EuroNGOs Annual Conference and Annual General Meeting 2009, which took place 7 and 8 September 2009 in Riga, Latvia, hosted by the EuroNGOs member organization Papardes Zieds, exemplified collaboration, with the largest number of representatives from the global ‘South’ ever.
More than 100 individuals, from all over Europe, Bangladesh, Ecuador, India, Iraq, Jamaica, Malaysia, Mauritius, Mexico, Nigeria, Puerto Rico, Thailand, Uganda, Zambia, as well as the USA, New Zealand and Australia, gathered to listen and learn from speakers from a variety of disciplines, including economics, research and advocacy, applying their expertise to the specific aims and challenges faced by the SRHR sector.
