GCAP campaigners from West Africa will join other CSO activists taking part in the 6 th Edition of the Peoples' Forum held from 4-8 June 2007 in Sikasso, Mali in response to the G8 Summit in Germany.
 
The Forum was launched six years ago to provide a space for dialogue and cross fertilization for the African and Malian social movement and to discuss alternatives to neoliberal policies and practices from the IFIs, the EU and the G8. 
 
The 2007 edition will focus on 9 thematic issues, including:

-       Debt

-       EPAs

-       GMOs

-       Peasant indebtedness

-       Privatisation

-       Food sovereignty

-       Access to water

-       Land conflict

-       MDGs                                                                                           

GCAP campaigners will take this opportunity to highlight the campaign's demands and call on G8 leaders to keep the aid promises thay have made to Africa.
