Following a proposal made by the Nordic constituency, the PSI Executive Board (per EB-141 meeting 23-25 November 2011 in Geneva, Switzerland) has decided to establish a special fund for our next World Congress, which will be held in Durban, South Africa, 27-30 November 2012. This Congress Sponsorship Fund is aimed at ensuring more equity, diversity and democracy in representation at Congress. It will also enable PSI to strengthen the participation of young people and women at a Congress that takes place in the midst of unprecedented economic and financial crises.

PSI appeals to our affiliates, where possible, to make a gesture of solidarity and fund or co-fund a delegate from a member union that might be unable to afford participation. According to PSI calculations, the average participation of a fully-sponsored delegate will cost about 2,800€.
