Government Network

GPDD has developed an informal Government Network to strengthen coordination and cooperation among representatives of governmental agencies, international, regional and sub-regional organizations, and bilateral and multilateral donors committed to CRPD signing, ratification and inclusive development assistance.

The purpose of this Network is to serve as an informal mechanism to promote systematic sharing of information and knowledge around current and future activities and good practices, identification of issues for collective action and attention, and exploration of opportunities to strengthen informal collaboration. Activities may include:

• Mapping knowledge and activities and identifying gaps
• Problem solving and brainstorming to promote innovative practices
• Sharing of information, assets and resources
• Discussion of developments and experiences
• Documentation projects

The GPDD plays a facilitative and supportive role in the Network, by providing a virtual collaborative platform, encouraging collaboration and community building, and creating opportunities for participants to share information and knowledge through a variety of forums. However, participants own the Network and determine and drive its priorities and activities.
