What is the Johannesburg World Summit Company (JOWSCO)?
The South African government, represented by the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism, offered to host the WSSD. It set up the Johannesburg World Summit Company (JOWSCO) to manage and arrange the logistics of the Summit, in terms of providing accommodation and travel for delegates and acting as a central coordination point for all other events running in parallel to the WSSD. JOWSCO has arranged for the Wanderers Stadium to be temporarily turned in to a logistical hub and exhibition space called Ubuntu Village for the duration of the Summit.
