The Legion of Good Will (LBV) will be holding the 10th Solidary Society Network Multi-stakeholder Forum and 7th Innovation Fair in support of the UN ECOSOC Annual Ministerial Review. The theme of the Forum will be the expectations for the next millennium development goals.

The events brought together managers, professionals from civil society organizations, companies, public sector, as well as university professors and students who are interested in the subject. They will all be encouraged to take an active part in the discussions, share knowledge, and sign partnership agreements that collaborate with putting together an agenda directed at sustainable development for the next few years. 

The Forum is going to be held between November 20 and 29 and it aims at contributing to the debates of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), where the LBV has had general consultative status since 1999. The results and good practices collected will be presented by the LBV to the ECOSOC during the High-Level Segment, which will occur in July 2014 at the UN Headquarters in New York.

Meetings will take place in four countries in Latin America in the following cities and days respectively: Montevideo, Uruguay (20); Buenos Aires, Argentina (21); Asunción, Paraguay (26); and Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia (29). The debates count with the support from the UN’s Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN/DESA) located at the UN Headquarters in New York.
