OBJECTIVE AND EXPECTED OUTCOMES
Building on insights and challenges in innovation in investment from Africa, the Asia Pacific, and Latin America and the Caribbean, gathered through previous regional dialogues, the side event will share perspectives
that have been discussed, link common and uncommon themes, and shape regional strategies, particularly in the context of global support platforms such as TAP and GFAR. Through this, the event will identify opportunities for cross-regional learning,
share perspectives on challenging areas and overcoming challenges, and integrate regional approaches into the TAP Action Plan 2022-2025 and into GFAR’s areas of collective action
