The Implementation
Plan draws on the principles outlined in the strategy document
and takes into consideration the priorities established by
representatives of the public and private sectors during the
various consultation meetings held in Africa, Asia and Latin
America and the Caribbean. The Plan also reflects the discussions
and conclusions reached by the participants in the GCDS Validation
Forum.
It was agreed at the Forum that FAO, in its position as an
international organization, supported by a large number of
Member Governments, has a key facilitation role to play in
the implementation of the Strategy. In the first place, FAO
will publish the report of the Validation Forum using funds
made available by IFAD. FAO will also be responsible for the
maintenance, updating and enhancement of the GCDS Web site,
which is already accessible through FAO's Web page. It was
acknowledged, however, that commitments were also required
from other organizations to assist in promoting and coordinating
the implementation of the Strategy.
