An exciting agenda to challenge and inspire
There is no doubt that these are extraordinary times. The past year has seen a dramatically changing economic environment, and in 2010 the UK General Election may bring a change in government and a changed political landscape. At the same time, NGOs are under increasing pressure to both prove and improve their effectiveness and accountability. Now more than ever, we need to work together to respond to these challenges.
It is against this backdrop that the theme for year's event, international development in a changing world, is set.

The day includes a political ‘Question Time' style panel and we are pleased to announce that Douglas Alexander, Secretary of State for International Development, Andrew Mitchell, Shadow Secretary of State for International Development, and Michael Moore, Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for International Development, will take questions from Bond members on their approach to the NGO sector and their policies on international development.
The afternoon will focus on development policy and practice. It will include a discussion by recognised NGO leaders on the changing role of Northern NGOs working in international development from the perspective of the South.
The afternoon will include six parallel sessions designed to stimulate thought and action on key strategic issues facing the sector. Delegates wishing to attend one of these sessions must indicate their first and second choice on the registration form.
The day will also include a review of the year, and the Bond AGM business.
