ACCA acknowledges the Working Group’s earnestness to include stakeholders from across the globe. With this in mind, ACCA calls upon the Working Group to investigate why African participation appeared to be extremely weak at this year’s Forum, and to actively work on removing barriers and addressing challenges to ensure future participation of African stakeholders...ACCA calls on the organisers of the Forum to commit to creating a larger space for African civil society, and communities whose lives are adversely affected by the activities of corporations, both multi-national and domestic alike, to enable these stakeholders to voice their opinions and let their expectations be heard by all stakeholders who attend this Forum.
