CSO Forum
The Civil Society Organisations (CSO) Forum is the meeting of the CSO representatives from the Pacific region. The Forum should be the means to ensure "THINKING REGIONALLY and ACTING NATIONALLY" as this is the place where current issues and concerns of CSOs are tabled and addressed. The Forum also prepares and provides the CSO Communiqué for the Pacific Forum Leaders' meeting to be held in the same country a few days after the CSO Forum.
