National conference on the Civic Commitment for Inclusion
• 05 Apr 2007 •
 AFTER having carried out four campaigns of the Route for Inclusion, President Cavaco Silva has announced for April 14 a National Conference devoted to the Civic Commitment for Inclusion, where the first results of the initiative will be debated.
The objective of the conference is to reflect upon the subjects specifically highlighted during the four campaigns of the route and, simultaneously, to procure public recognition for the accomplishments of the thousands of citizens and institutions all over the country which contributed towards the results accrued from solidarity and social development.
Matters including the redirecting of social policies, the social responsibilities of business enterprises, the role of voluntary work and of enterprising institutions, were some of the ideas which could configure a new approach capable to respond to the foreseeable restraints of the state, and to the enormous potential for development inherent to citizens and benevolent institutions.
Cavaco Silva recently welcomed Nobel Peace Laureate Muhammed Yunus as a special guest at the Belem Palace, where the two men spoke of Yunus’ micro-credit projects that led to the international acclaim. In 1995, Cavaco Silva shared the Freedom Prize from the Max-Schmidheiny Foundation with Yunus and Peruvian economist Hernando de Soto. |  Return to Top
