Background
|
| The
United Nations General Assembly, in July 2005, adopted
Resolution A/RES/59/311 entitled "International
Meeting to Review the Implementation of the Programme
of Action for the Sustainable Development of Small Island
Developing States." In
paragraph 9 of the Resolution, the General Assembly indicates
its support for "… the convening by the Department
of Economic and Social Affairs of Regional Meetings of
Small Island Developing States in 2005 or 2006, in partnership
with relevant regional organizations and stakeholders,
for the follow-up of the implementation of the Mauritius
Strategy for Implementation…"
In pursuance of
the decision of the Conference and the UN Resolution,
the Indian Ocean Commission (IOC) Secretariat, the UN
Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) and
other agencies in the Region, consulted with a view
of organising an AIMS Regional Meeting to pursue implementation
of the Mauritius Strategy.
The purpose of
the three-day Consultation - to which all AIMS Countries
were invited - was to identify concrete programmes/projects
and other actions to pursue implementation of the MSI
at both the national and regional levels. In paragraph
84 of the MSI, SIDS undertake, with the necessary support
of the international community, including through the
facilitation and improvement of access to existing resources
and, where appropriate through allocation of dedicated
financial resources, to take action in several priority
areas in order to address their most urgent sustainable
development challenges.
The main objective
of the consultation was to facilitate the identification
of specific programmes and projects to give effect to
the undertakings set out in the MSI.
