Guidance Material
English


The following guidance and reference materials were developed specifically for the GEF National Dialogue Initiative. Countries are welcome to utilize these materials in organizing dialogues, workshops and seminars using other sources of financing (Government, bilateral, UN agency, NGO, etc.), in consultation with the GEF Implementing Agencies. All materials are also available in Arabic, French, Russian and Spanish.

The development of the materials has been a collaborative effort amongst the GEF Secretariat and the three Implementing Agencies — UNDP, UNEP and the World Bank. Many expert consultants also contributed to the development of these Materials. The GEF National Dialogue Initiative would like to thank the following for their valuable contributions: Jeffrey Griffin, William Mansfield, James McGowan, and Seemin Qayum.
