For discussion and feedback:

Are the proposed tasks at national, regional and international level sufficiently detailed and precise for the establishment of effective follow-up to the objectives and priorities for action to be adopted at WCDR? Comments on the focus and formulation of requirements and assignment of responsibilities for the various functions envisaged will be particularly useful.
What additional guidance can be provided to establish necessary synergies with existing developmental mechanisms and frameworks, including Poverty Reduction Strategies, National Sustainable Development Strategies, the United Nations Development Assistance Frameworks, SIDS strategies and Millennium Development Goals, climate change National Adaptation Programmes of Action, desertification National Action Programmes and other similar frameworks?
Please provide information, contacts, lessons from experience and examples of good practice to assist governments and other stakeholders to follow-up and monitor progress of their implementation of WCDR outcomes.
