Today, within the framework of the II African Urbanization Forum (AUF2), the Global South NGO Platform organized a side event “From AUF2 to WUF13 and Beyond: NGO Forum on Sustainable Urban Development in Africa” in partnership with the Azerbaijan Urbanization Campaign and the Azerbaijani NGO Agency, APA reports.
Fuad Karimli and Nadima Rahimli, representatives of the Secretariat of the Global South NGO Platform, said that it is a reality that the Global South, which includes Latin America, Africa, Asia, Oceania and Australia, where 80% of the world's population lives, is often left out of international decision-making and is unable to control its own destiny at crucial moments. In this sense, the Global South NGO Platform is a clear manifestation of the need to unite against global isolation.
