The Global NGO Forum on International Development, formerly named 'Asian NGOs International Development Conference', is the largest biennial meeting focused on discussion of international development issues in Taiwan, as well as the flagship event of Taiwan Alliance in International Development (Taiwan AID). Previously, the 'Asian NGOs International Development Conference' already completed 4 Editions from 2012 to 2018 and so far, more than 150 guest speakers and 1,200 participants in total attended the events. Over the last 8 years, the Conference was mainly concentrated on regional perspective with most of the speakers from Asia. This year, Taiwan AID would like to further extend the meeting to a global scope and rename as 'Global NGO Forum on International Development', aiming to invite speakers from all over the world to shed light on the latest trends and progress related with international development, particularly under the threat of COVID-19 pandemic.
Observing the needs for Taiwan to strengthen its contribution to effective development cooperation, civil society aims to explore the commonality and differences of government-civil society partnerships practiced in various countries, as a means to fostering mutual learning on CSO enabling environment and providing policy reference for a comprehensive framework which is suitable for the context in Taiwan.
As a result, the main theme of the Forum will focus on 'Inclusive Partnership between Government and Civil Society in International Development' with 6 sub-themes:
1. New trends in effective development cooperation and ODA policies;
2. Tracking of 5-year progress of SDGs;
3. Challenges, opportunities, best practices and an enabling environment for the inclusive partnership between government, private sector and civil society;
4. Social impact and innovation in international development;
5. Empowerment and participation of youth and vulnerable groups: youth, women, people with disabilities, refugees and migrants;
6. Impact of COVID-19 on International Development Cooperation and Multi-stakeholder Partnership.
Let's engage in the conversation with global NGO communities to create a fairer and better world!
