On January 18, 2006, the Polycentric World Social Forum at Bamako defined certain principles and propositions for achieving theses goals under the name "Bamako Appeal."
The Bamako Appeal expresses a commitment to create a notion of solidarity between the peoples of the North and South who have been marginalized by the effects of the neoliberalist system. Through democracy and social equality, the Appeal aims to find a viable social and economic alternative.
