[Iyrp-gcg] Strategic action with national governments and regional bodies

[Igshaan Samuels]

Dear Fiona (and GCG)

I think this is an important exercise that we should do. Thus, in the
meeting we can discuss as you said "what commitments are we looking for in
IYRP for which national preparation/groundwork is  needed in a more
systematic way such as dialogues, influencing and engagement…."

So, in preparation for the GCG meeting, may I ask RISG chairs to prepare an
overview on what your region is doing to engage with national governments
in order to prepare for IYRP2026?

Kind regards
Igshaan
