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
