The consultations of May 29 enabled the different constituencies—social funds’ directors, NGO representatives, municipal representatives, and international development agencies officials— to discuss the initial outcomes of the workshop, to elaborate upon common strategies for the promotion and improvement of social funds, and to arrive at recommendations that were then presented at the final plenary session. The regional consultations of May 30 enabled the participants from the Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, Middle East and North Africa regions to meet separately and to focus on the follow-up to the workshop in each region.
