Contact details for the WSSD Secretariat

 

PrepCom IV is the final time that governments, stakeholders and the international community can come together before the World Summit takes place in August. It is the most high level event thus far and includes three days of Ministerial involvement. It is the last opportunity for the Chairman’s text – the basis of the Johannesburg outcome document – to be discussed, and will be the forum where any political declaration is decided upon. It will also set the programme of work for the Summit.

 

As decided at the close of the last meeting, PrepCom IV is being preceded by three days of informal discussion on the Chairman’s Text. This will entail consultations within country groupings on Friday 24th and informal meetings of the whole on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th.

 

The schedule of work and other official documents for PrepCom IV can be downloaded from  www.johannesburgsummit.org/html/documents/prepcom4.html.
