Dear friends

We wish to advise you of the
forthcoming AFRICITIES VII Summit which will take place from 29 November to 3
December 2015 at the Sandton International Convention Centre, in Johannesburg,
South Africa. The theme for the Summit is “Shaping
the future of Africa with the people: the contribution of local authorities to
the agenda 2063 of Africa.”Judging from
the past Africities, this will be an interesting occasion and a great
opportunity to interact with networks, social movements, activists and local
government officials.Hoping that you will be interested,more information can also be found at www.africities2015.org, where you should register your attendance without delay and complete
the online survey at  www.africities-sessions.uclga.org.

We also invite your organisation
to participate with us and other colleagues in the Session“The Inhabitants Associations & Local authorities towards Quito”which will be in the Conference Centre from 9:00 to 12:00 on Monday 30th
November. The session will bring together representatives of social movements,
NGOs, elected officials and local government officials to discuss the promotion
of dialogue and productive partnerships between the parties as a concrete
contribution to shape an agenda for the Future of Africa with the People, as
well as a regional contribution to the World Urban Social Forum and Habitat III
in Quito, in 2016.

The Session is organised by a
Working Group drawn from international networks (HIC, IAI, NO-VOX, SDI and
local partners):
