Civil Society has been engaged since the first GFMD through the original Civil Society Days (CSD) of the GFMD. Since 2020, civil society and other stakeholder mechanisms have fully participated in the entire GFMD Summit and process alongside all governments and other stakeholders, including in all preparatory meetings, thematic workshops, roundtables, and other GFMD events.<\/p>\n

The <\/span>Civil Society Mechanism (CSM)<\/a> serves as the institutionalised structure that coordinates all civil society engagement in the GFMD.

The CSM coordinates civil society engagement by (co)organizing preparatory meetings, regional and thematic consultations, briefings and webinars, and other activities for civil society around the world, to feed into each GFMD activity. In addition, the CSM coordinates civil society participation in each GFMD activity, by drawing from key leaders and representatives nominated from a range of civil society processes and activities that feed into the GFMD.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
