Mission to Peru to boost the IFS Process

15 February, 2010 - 16 February, 2010
Lima, Peru

At the invitation of the Government, the GM will visit Peru next week to discuss the country’s expression of interest in moving ahead with the integrated financing strategy process (IFS) and in formalizing the GM’s country engagement modalities.

The Vice Minister for the UNCCD in the newly-formed Ministry of the Environment, Mrs Rosario Gomez, who made a substantial contribution to the design of the IFS concept before taking up her new functions, will be instrumental in the successful implementation of the IFS.

In addition to meetings at the Ministry, the GM will take this opportunity to hold further discussions with the other stakeholders in the IFS process. These include the UNCCD national coordinating body, the United Nations Development Programme, and civil society organizations including members of the RIOD network.

Information on the outcomes of the mission will be posted here.
