Civil society organization (CSO) members of the CSO Partnership for Development Effectiveness (CPDE) platform have gathered in Beirut, Lebanon, to showcase their work and participate in a policy conference on effective development cooperation. The CSO Marketplace is a space for CPDE constituencies and members to promote their organisations, their policy and communications products, and advocacies to fellow CSOs, other stakeholders, and people’s organisations, as well as the general public. Meanwhile, the Policy Conference tackles the issues of corporate capture of development cooperation and closing and shrinking spaces, particularly in relation to impacts at country level and experiences of different sectors and regions. The conference’s theme is “Upholding accountability, building solidarity for effective people-centred development”.
