The Inter-Regional Meeting on the Mauritius Strategy for Implementation was held at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Piazzale della Farnesina, Rome, Italy from 15 to 16 November 2005. The meeting was followed by the FAO Conference 19 to 26 November 2005, at the FAO Headquarters.

The purpose of the two-day consultation - to which all Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and Territories were invited - was to identify concrete programmes/projects and other actions to pursue implementation of the Mauritius Strategy for Implementation (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.
