Welcome

Message from the Premier of the State of Queensland, Australia The Queensland State Government is proud to partner with the United Nations in the inaugural International Conference on Engaging Communities. It is a great honour that the United Nations has chosen to work with Queensland in developing this international event, in recognition of the State’s reputation as an active democracy and an innovator in community engagement theory and practice. The role of governments across the world is changing. Globally and locally governments are being challenged to increase their focus on more effective community involvement in planning, decision making and service delivery. Similarly, the private sector and community organisations as well as educational institutions, are under pressure to offer and be responsive to stakeholder engagement. The Queensland State Government in Australia has embraced this challenge and is a leader in implementing new ways for citizens to participate in government. With a strong record of innovation in engaging communities it is fitting that Queensland – Australia’s Smart State – host this Conference. This Conference provides an unparalleled opportunity for local community engagement and development practitioners to interact with leading international thinkers in engaging communities. The diverse program offers delegates a wealth of choice and there are many opportunities to enjoy Queensland’s culinary delights, entertainment and culture. I would also like to thank the Conference partners and sponsors, whose contributions are sincerely appreciated. Take the opportunity to visit many of them in the Exhibition, where you will also be able to view an innovative display of community engagement initiatives from the Queensland Government. I welcome you to this exciting event and hope you enjoy all the Conference, Queensland and Australia has to offer.

Peter Beattie MP Premier and Treasurer

Message from the United Nations The Secretary-General of the United Nations, in his report entitled “In larger freedom: towards development, security and human rights of all”, issued this March, suggests bold but realistic decisions which Member States could take as a collective response to the challenges facing the world today. The report makes clear that Governments must work hand in hand with civil society and the private sector to meet these challenges. It is in this light that I welcome and support the initiative of the Queensland State Government of Australia in organizing the International Conference on Engaging Communities in Brisbane, 14-17 August 2005. We are proud to be a partner with the Queensland State Government which has given leadership in engaging communities and citizens in public policies and processes. This unique opportunity will provide a useful platform for ministers, government officials, parliamentarians, and the representatives of the civil society organizations and the private sector, to promote learning and knowledge sharing on new governance tools and partnerships that are inclusive and based on enhanced citizen-government dialogue. I therefore hope that the International Conference on Engaging Communities will increase the awareness of participants in issues and challenges associated with community and government dialogue and pave the way to recognize this area as a critical element of governance and public administration. The United Nations system remains committed to support national Governments in empowering public administration in playing its vital role in strengthening and revitalizing these partnerships for the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals. To this end, I encourage all delegates to participate in the development of the United Nations Brisbane Declaration which will be a key instrument to ensure the dialogue from this important event continues. The Declaration will be handed over during the Closing Session.

Jose Antonio Ocampo Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs
