The Commonwealth People’s Forum takes place from 10 – 14 November at Hikkaduwa, Sri Lanka.

The CPF 2013 theme ‘Equitable growth and inclusive development: beyond 2015,’ shares this year’s CHOGM theme and will focus on the post-2015 development agenda from a Commonwealth civil society perspective. Workshops and panel discussions will cover topics including equitable growth, women’s empowerment, peace-building, food security and the sustainable development goals. Delegates will also have the opportunity to take part in a series of learning journeys, visiting community projects and organisations in Sri Lanka. 

The CPF 2013 is organised by the Commonwealth Foundation, hosted by Sevalanka Foundation, Federation of Sri Lankan Local Government Authorities and Sarvodaya, with support from the Government of Sri Lanka.
