[Iyrp-gcg] Resolutions from IYRP GCG meeting 11 Oct 2023

[Munkhnasan Nasaa]

Dear Maryam

I am very happy for your most valuable support for the UN declaration on
IYRP.  Without your support it may not be possible for today's achievement.
I also very much hope that you will continue to provide support to the IYRP
coalition.


*Best regards: *

>> *3. Maryam *will explore the possibility of IYRP qualifying for GEF
>> funding by scrutinizing the different funding calls/mechanisms within GEF.
>> 4. *GCG members should suggest names for the vacant IYRP co-chair
>> position.* It was decided that it should be a female and perhaps from

>> rangelands and pastoralism space and Hijaba and I will engage them upon
>> their return from overseas travel. The GCG is also open to having more than
>> two co-chairs.
>> 5. The GCG accepted the communications strategy development plan and
>> budget proposed by Yolda and during its development (if sufficient funds
>> are raised), there should be some alignment to the FAO communications
>> strategy developed for the International Year of Camelids as the FAO IYRP
>> communications strategy (to be developed later on) might be similar. This
>> will ensure that the IYRP ISP and the FAO IYRP communications strategies
>> are aligned and complementary.
>>
>> Outputs/outcomes originating from points 1-4 will be finalised by the GCG
>> via email correspondence or special GCG meeting.
>>
>> If there is anything unclear or not entirely correct, please let me know.
>>
>> I hope for your positive responses.
