The International Council Meeting of the World Social Forum Mexico City, Mexico 5-7 May 2010, agreed that the Dakar WSF will revolve around three thematic axes:
- the analysis of the latest financial, economic and social crises;
- the convergence and encounter of the people's struggle against the effects of the crises, and
