| Event Description |
The Huairou Commission aims to foster relationship building and lasting partnerships. This reception will provide an opportunity to relate one on one, establish personal connections and have frank exchange of information and opinions. Opening remarks will begin with a celebration of the contribution grassroots women’s groups have made to improving the quality of life in urban settlements, followed by appreciations for women allies in local governments, policy, programming and donor agencies, research, and NGOs who have increased the decision making and resource base of grassroots women’s groups. A brief summary of the Women and World Urban Forum 3 and the Huairou Commission’s strategic objectives and program at WUF3 will be given. Entertainment will consist of local women celebrities, singers and dancers including youth and traditional and ‘non-traditional’ performers.
