INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON POPULATION AND DEVELOPMENT
Cairo, Egypt
5-13 September 1994
"ICPD 94" newsletter, Number 18
August 1994
NEWS FOR THE NGOS
FROM THE NGO PLANNING COMMITTEE FOR THE ICPD
Registration for the NGO Forum '94 will be held on 31 August and 1-
5 September, from 9 am to 7 pm. From 6 September onward,
registration will be held from 9 am to 2 pm. Daily passes to the
Forum will be available for $10 (U.S.).
NGO registration for ICPD and the NGO Forum will be held at
two separate sites, both at the Olympic Swimming Pool facility,
located next to Salah Salem Street, Nasr City, Cairo. This complex
is five minutes by car both from the Cairo International Conference
Centre where ICPD will take place, and from the Forum site, the
Covered Stadium Complex. Members of ICPD-accredited non-
governmental organizations must register at both sites to gain
access to both the Forum and ICPD. Separate access badges will be
required for each facility.
Accredited members of the news media and official delegates to
the Conference will be able to enter the NGO Forum with their ICPD
access badges, however.
The NGO Planning Committee intends to produce a roster of NGO
Forum '94 participants by a day or two after the Forum opens. This
book will be available for a nominal fee to cover printing costs.
There will be an informal message centre at the Forum where
participants may leave messages for other participants. Those
attending the Forum are asked to remember to check with the centre
to receive their messages. Members of the press may also use this
facility to arrange interviews with Forum participants.
