Footnote:

Throughout this document the term “civil society” will be used to encompass non-governmental organisations, community based organisation in both rural and urban areas, organisations of workers (trade unions), faith based organisations, youth organisations – (which include student organizations), women’s organisations, first nation people (indeginous people), as well as various sub-groups to be found within them. “Civil society” in this context does not include business organisations and other market orientated organisations. This exclusion does not preclude the organisations in the Pan African Conference devising strategies to engage and relate to certain market orientated organisations as part of the strategy of advancing the cause of sustainable development on the continent.
