Global Voices bloggers have been commissioned to liveblog the OECD Global Forum on Development [2] in Paris on April 4-5, 2013. Leading up to the meeting, our team is submitting posts about development issues that help serve as weekly online discussion topics [3] on their website.
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) [4] is an international economic organisation of 34 countries that supports democracy and world trade. The Global Forum on Development is focussed on poverty reduction and social cohesion [5] and attracts a wide range of participants from governments and civil society to help discuss solutions.
Lova Rakotomalala [6], Julie Owono [7], and Rayna St [8] of Global Voices will be attending and blogging the meeting in Paris in their own personal capacity.
The hashtag for the meeting is #OECDgfd [9].
