Preparation for the Conference

It has taken several weeks to get everything in order to attend the International Conference of Financing for Sustainable Development. The Civil Society portion of the Forum will take place November 25-28 in Doha, Qatar.

We leave the USA on November 23 and will arrive (hopefully) in Doha the evening before the conference is scheduled to start. We might miss the opening reception and dinner but we will be in our seats when the opening plenary session begins at 9 AM on the 26th.

For those interesting in learning more about the Conference and the work that has been done so far of financing for sustainable development, I would recommend checking out the Conference website. This is easily accessible from the Carmelite NGO website (
carmelitengo.org). There is also a link to the Conference program.

We will work hard to insure that we move ever closer to "investing in people-centered development."
