The objectives of this meeting were to:

1. Identify the key features a model should have so as to be adequate for long-term scenario analysis and suitable for addressing key development questions for the FAO GPS work.

2. Identify approaches to implement such model features and to determine the extent to which they are already embedded in existing models. 3. To trace a step-wise pathway to endow the FAO GPS team with a suitable and operational GEM-SAF with desirable features.
