IAITPTF to hold two side events in CBD-COP9
In the upcoming Conference of Parties to the CBD, to be held in Bonn, Germany in May, the International Alliance will host two side events to highlight specific issues and concerns.  First of these will be the IPNC side event which will serve to present the lessons and achievements of the project.  Regional Coordinators will serve as speakers for this side event.  The second will be jointly hosted with MISEREOR, our German partner and on the theme of Free, Prior informed Consent.  This is will present the results of two case studies from Nepal and Panama.  This side event will hopefully result in  a more detailed project on the same theme.
