The Conference will address issues such as the essential elements for a national dialogue, including a strong political will, broad support from society, inclusiveness and a sense of national ownership; how dialogue contributes to change; key procedural aspects in a dialogue process; and the role of international organizations and civil society. In addition, examples of national dialogue processes held in Bolivia, Guatemala, South Africa and Uganda will be presented by speakers who participated in those processes.
