Sponsorship
To attract delegates from developing countries, as well as youth, we will allocate $100,000
from sponsorship received through networking with not-for-profit organisations, private sector
contacts and government agencies.
We will work with the recommendations from IFOAM to identify potential participants from these
groups and countries, drawing on IFOAM experience. We will use the experience of attending
the OWC 2017 to meet with, and establish, networks with potential delegates who might require
sponsorship. We anticipate accessing the IFOAM global PGS network to help to identify these
participants.
