This annual event brings together volunteer-involving organizations from around the world, the conference will provide a unique platform for reflection, learning, and networking, as global experts convene to discuss pressing challenges and opportunities facing civil society today.

The conference aims to foster a sense of national pride by demonstrating the country's capacity to lead and contribute to global conversations on sustainable development.
