Regional Component

One of the objectives of the Forum was to take roots at the regional level. In this context, regional preparatory processes have determined the most relevant challenges faced by the region, analysed the constraints and deficiencies faced by the actors and institutions, reviewed innovative processes that successfully addressed the issues and contributed to the conclusions and recommendations that have been presented and discussed with decision makers during the Forum.

After having selected major challenges, the Regional actors involved in the process have focused on how to strengthen action. They have examined at the same time constraints faced by stakeholders and actions having been implemented. 

To implement the regional approach, the countries of the world have been grouped into five regions. You may click on the following links to access to their final report of the regional documents.
