GCAP Namibia took part in a special breakfast meeting attended by various stakeholders including embassies, government representatives and civil society organisations to discuss progress towards the MDG. A special newsletter spotlighting civil society's position on the MDG Mid Term review was also produced explaining precisely what the MDGs are and what steps have been taken to achieve them. This material was widely distributed to Namibian civil society organisations and to policy makers.
