Place: , Athens - Greece
Description of the event:
The GEF-UNEP MedProgramme’s Annual Stocktaking Meeting (ASM) will be held on 2-3 November 2022 in Athens, Greece. “Assess – Synergize – Move forward” is the slogan chosen for the meeting. The MedProgramme Coordination Unit, which is hosted by the Mediterranean Action Plan of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP/MAP), the MedProgramme’s lead executing agency, is organizing this first edition of the ASM in cooperation with the implementing agencies and executing partners of the eight MedProgramme Child Projects.
The ASM will bring together representatives of beneficiary countries (Albania, Algeria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Egypt, Lebanon, Libya, Montenegro, Morocco, Tunisia and Türkiye) and other stakeholders for an in-depth review of progress in the implementation of the “Mediterranean Sea Programme: Enhancing Environmental Security” (MedProgramme).
Assess, synergize and move forward
Fifty participants representing various developmental and societal actors, including multilateral environmental agreements and sister UN agencies, banking institutions, intergovernmental, governmental and non-governmental bodies, industry, research and media organizations, will take part in the meeting.
The ASM will provide a forum for peer-to-peer learning and experience-sharing among the institutions in charge of implementation. One of the priorities will be to bolster synergy through coordination among the institutions implementing the eight Child Projects, in accordance with the GEF programmatic approaches.
The meeting will also spotlight impact achieved thus far and, if deemed required, propose programmatic changes to accelerate the MedProgramme’s implementation.
