[NCUC-EC] Review of CROPP proposals

Tue Apr 5 04:45:39 CEST 2016

Hi Farzaneh,

thanks for the selections and comments.
while waiting for other choices, I may respond to some questions:
- CSISAC event (http://csisac.org/events/cancun16/) during the OECD
ministerial doesn't happen in yearly basis and involve many organizations
that we don't necessarily see in usual IG spaces
http://csisac.org/members.php  (disclaimer I was in the CSISAC steering
committee and I can check for logistics information)
- I am not familiar with CIVICUS but it sounds a big event too, looks
something close to World Summit Forum too. new space for us
- checking with Staff, we can allocate slots for July using this year
allocation but it would make sense to use FY17 slots instead  (we should
start the call at early stage )
- definitely we should work closely with the recipients regarding their
outreach efforts and see how we can amplify them by promotion, material etc
. we should use the learnt lesson from CPDP.
- as suggested we can support with some limit using NCUC funding.

Best,

Rafik

> Tatiana's proposal is a good opportunity for outreach as well.
