CHOIKE REPORTS ON THE FIFTH EDITION OF THE WSF

Reports and news on the fifth edition of the WSF, held from January 26 to 31 in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Part of the Choike team covered the Forum's activities directly from Porto Alegre. For NGOs from the South, the Forum has become a place to make their voices heard and exchange experiences and ideas. This was the main focus of Choike's coverage, in line with its aim of giving visibility to Southern civil societies.
