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 CROP Secretariats, the UN Department of Economic
and Social Affairs (DESA) and other agencies in the
Region, consulted with a view of organising a Pacific
Regional Meeting to pursue implementation of the Mauritius
Strategy.
The purpose of
the three-day Consultation - to which all Pacific Countries
and Territories 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.
