2nd Meeting of the BICG

The survey results were presented and the Thematic Peer Groups were established according to the country’s and consultative members’ willingness to co-chair and participate in the various groups. The BICG established 3 Peer Groups, one on each of the three Key Commitments. Member countries and organisations in the Peer Groups are encouraged to form smaller thematic groups (3-6 members) within the larger Peer Group, to work on specific themes which contribute to the outcomes of the entire Peer Group.

An overview of membership of the different countries and organizations in the three Thematic Peer Groups was elaborated;
Elaboration of Guidelines for BFUG peer support;
Organization of informal networking opportunity to prepare project proposals and sub-groups during the BFUG meeting;
Proposal of Co-chairs for the Thematic Peer Groups on the basis of the willingness to Co-chair indicated in the survey to be approved by the BFUG.
