Parties and non-Party stakeholders suggestions

Response from PCCB

At the 7^th Durban Forum on Capacity-building held in May 2018, Parties and non-Party stakeholders reiterated:

• The need for more time and space for informal and formal discussions on capacity-building related matters in order to exchange knowledge on case studies, success stories, lessons learned and how to support capacity-building in developing countries

At the first meeting of the PCCB, held in May 2017, in the context of the Capacity-building portal, the Committee received submissions from Parties and non-Party stakeholders, suggesting for the PCCB to:

• Facilitate access to capacity training modules or relevant materials
   
• Map stakeholders and capacity-building activities
   
• Create an inventory of other existing portals and platforms
   
• Add a calendar of capacity-building events and activities
   
• Compile information about capacity-building actions at the regional, national and subnational levels
   
• Provide a space for users’ participation in the capacity-building dialogue and their feedback

• Create a dedicated space (Capacity-building Hub) to present a series of events, which will feature presentations, networking opportunities and showcasing hands-on training of tools
   
• Launch a PCCB Facebook page for COP 24 to support wider outreach and networking on capacity-building, which PCCB members, capacity-building practitioners and policy-makers can use for on-going knowledge exchanges
   
• Collaborate with relevant stakeholders to foster global, regional, national and subnational cooperation
   
• Disseminate and promote relevant information on the capacity-building webpages that complement the capacity-building portal until this additional information can be integrated into an enhanced version of the portal; and
   
• Initiate the process of adding contact information to the mapping of the stakeholders and capacity-building list
