Now that you know about Bamako 2008, you've decided that you at trip to Mali isn't in your budget. Not to worry, you can still play an important role.
Have you ever attended a conference and come away saying, "Why didn't they have a session on ___________? That's the most important thing they could have discussed." Bamako 2008 is providing an opportunity to to help shape the agenda of this important meeting. Go to the conference's web site at http://bamako2008.org/en/index.shtml and click the link to the on-line consultative questionnaires. Both researchers and NGOs have an opportunity here to express views on health research. Responses will be used to establish the themes of Bamako 2008.
Opportunities to help shape conference agendas are rare. Conference organizers are to be applauded for affording this opportunity. I can't help but think that a large response will reinforce the idea that agenda setting is important to constituents and will encourage the organizers to continue making this opportunity available.
