<p>As co-hosts of the London Conference on Afghanistan (LCA), the UK government has
agreed the overall invitation list in partnership with the Afghan Government. However,
decisions on civil society attendees have been made by Afghanistan civil society themselves
(rather than the UK or Afghan Government) through a democratic process in Kabul. At
least 45% of these elected, sponsored attendees are Afghan women who are scheduled
to contribute fully to the civil society event and its outcomes<em>. </em>The make-up
of the official Afghan government delegation is for the Afghans themselves to decide,
however we will be encouraging them to ensure that this includes female Afghan representatives.</p><p>
