SV: [governance] Travel expenses of MAG members

[Kicki Nordström]

Dear Ann-Kristin,

I fully agree with you and this is why indigenous and disability communities must work much more closely together   and in fact there are a few who represent both, but you  can not be an expert on both at the same time! 

Warmest regards in support!
Kicki

Dear  Norbert.,

This is a very nice offer, but sometimes some NGO's in industrial countries, like the disability movement, are as poor as developing countries in their organisational funding. 

Who is interested to support and fund Persons with Disabilities (PWD)?  Who is interested in our participation? Who is interested in our contribution, knowledge and identified problems? It is now recognised by the UN that PWD are among the poorest of the poor in all countries!

I have had, as a representative of the Disability community, a great 
support from the IG and I highly    appreciate this  support, in 
particular the personal support  from Karen, and If we could have the same recognition for developing countries as to the disability world wide community, (despite where we come from) I would be very happy for the future work!

Warmest regards
Kicki

All I know related to this is that at the reception following the 
Consultations in Frebruary, the Swiss government announced an offer to 
cover the travel expenses of MAG members from developing countries.

Greetings,
Norbert.
