The Civil Society Days (19 and 20 November 2012) in Port Louis were organized in cooperation with the International Advisory Committee and Caritas’ field office in Mauritius around the overarching theme “Operationalizing Protection and Human Development in International Migration.” It emphasized the need to produce real-world mechanisms and benchmarks based on the recommendations of both government and civil society at previous GFMD summits. It gathered together some 140 civil society delegates, 60 government and international organization delegates, 30 special guests and media representatives. Noteworthy is the fact that the largest number of African civil society delegates and diaspora participated in Port Louis CS Days since the GFMD began in 2007.
