Please leave your written contribution about the Implementation Programmes here
In order to structure the discussion, we are asking you to address three questions:
(1) For your organization, what is your vision of IPs? What would be their structure and important features? What are the potential benefits and value added? What would determine success?
(2) How would you like to be engaged and contribute to the development of IPs? What would create your organization’s “ownership” of the stakeholder process and results? Which concepts and activities do you propose? Which areas and questions interest you most?
(3) Which stakeholder activities and consultations should we pursue (including further webinars) and when? On which topics? What progress should we have achieved by mid-2025?
Please focus your verbal and written contributions only to these three questions. We would like to hear from you!
