In January 2005 at the World Social Forum a Global Call to Action against Poverty was launched to encourage campaigners to mobilize at key moments of 2005. Many active campaigners of GCAP have decided to continue to unite in solidarity beyond 2005. Some initial discussions of the International Facilitation Group have produced some broad ideas on how this could be done. Before these are discussed at the next IFG meeting in Beirut in early March 2006, it was unanimously agreed to gather as many reactions and alternative ideas as possible.

The questionnaire is part of an open consultation to gather suggestions on the way forward for GCAP. All individuals, organisations and networks who are part of GCAP and those who have not yet got involved are encouraged to take part in this consultation. There are 20 wide ranging questions but if you have any other issues or comments that you wish to mention, please do so. This questionnaire will feed into the final decisions on GCAP beyond 2005 which will be discussed in various forums including various regional GCAP meetings and the World Social Forum meetings. The final decision will be made at the next International Facilitation Group meeting, which will take place in early March 2006 in Beirut (if you are interested in going please e-mail [email protected] for more information).

This consultation questionnaire has been sent out to many different groups around the world – however please do share it with those who might be interested as the aim is to get as many suggestions and opinions as possible and we would rather people got it twice than not at all!
Some of you may want to answer the questionnaire more than once as you are involved in several organisations. This is fine though please indicate each time under what capacity you are answering i.e.: on behalf of an organization / as a member of a GCAP national coalition / an individual. National coalitions are requested to consult widely within their constituency and encourage all of their partners to fill out a questionnaire.

If you have any questions or concerns please e-mail [email protected] for more details.
