Business-NGO Partnerships Conference-May 9-10, 2006
Partners will participate in Ethical Corporation's Business-NGO Partnership Conference in May 2006. Over the past several years, Partners for Democratic Change has embarked on a long-term effort to facilitate closer linkages between business sector actors and development practitioners, recognizing their mutual interdependence. During this conference, Partners will participate in a roundtable with Marcela Manubens, Vice President of Global Human Rights and Social Responsibility, Philips Van Heusen Corporation, which will be moderated by Paul Martin, Executive Director, Columbia University, Center for the Study of Human Rights. Partners will share our innovative strategies for managing conflict and change at the local level in difficult environments where multiple stakeholders represent diverse, often antagonistic, interests. We will share specific approaches for managing local conflicts, how these strategies work, when they should not be used and what is needed for them to succeed.

Conflict Prevention and Resolution Forum
As a sponsor of the Conflict Prevention and Resolution Forum, Partners supports the open exchange of ideas and dialogue on a variety of topics. The forum is held each month in Washington, DC. We hope you can join us for these informative and worthwhile sessions.
