Agenda

The agenda for the regional seminars includes a structured dialogue which will allow States to exchange initial views on the expectations for CAAF/3 on issues such as capacity building, finance and policies to facilitate the development, deployment and access to SAFs, and will help States understand the issues and process so that they can prepare and actively participate in the CAAF/3 meeting. 


Please refer to the websites below for the detailed schedule of each Regional Seminar

To assist in the exchange of views during the dialogues, guiding questions are also available on this website; participants should reflect upon these guiding questions and be prepared to address them during the dialogues.

 

Participants are also requested to get acquainted with all the additional materials associated with each Agenda Item, as provided below. A short self-test is also available, covering some basic concepts and information that will be presented in further detail on the Seminar. This intends to indicate the level of preparation for the discussions.
