As well as the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), which takes place every two years, ministers responsible for education, environment, civil society, finance, foreign affairs, gender affairs, health law, tourism and youth also meet regularly. This ensures that Commonwealth policies and programmes represent the views of the members and gives governments a better understanding of each other's goals in an increasingly globalised world. The following statement was only included in the 2007 CHOGM Ministerial Statement because of the founding of the Commonwealth Disabled People's Forum103 in Uganda in 2007. It has subsequently been poorly supported, but is still functioning.
