The Partnerships
Fair at the Commission for Sustainable Development (CSD) provides a
venue for partnerships for sustainable development to network, identify
partners, create synergies between partnerships and learn from each
other's experiences. The Partnerships Fair is part of the official
programme of the CSD.
The key components of the CSD-16 Partnerships Fair
will include:
- “Partnerships in Practice” Interactive
discussions: Sessions will be organized to generate
dialogue on practical issues related to partnerships in
the CSD 16/17 thematic cluster and on issues common to
all partnerships.
- Partnership Presentations: Registered
partnerships will have the opportunity to make
presentations about their initiatives as well as engage
in an open discussion with participants during Q&A
sessions (40 -50 minute time slots).
- Partnerships Information Desks: A
small number of desks will be available upon request to
CSD registered partnerships. Partnership representatives
will be able to display and distribute information
related to their partnership and be available to discuss
their work with CSD-16 delegates. The desks will be
located in the ‘neck area’ (situated in the corridor
between the Vienna Café and the elevators in the 1st
basement of the Conference Building at UNHQ).
As CSD-16 will review progress in the areas of
Africa, Agriculture, Desertification, Drought, Land and
Rural Development, we are particularly encouraging
partnerships working in these areas to take advantage of
the CSD Partnerships Fair activities to share their
experiences.
The
CSD 16 Partnerships Fair Guidelines are now
available, including request forms for Partnerships
Presentations and Information Desks

including representatives of Governments, UN system
organizations, other intergovernmental organizations and
accredited major groups, are welcome to attend.
