IAI Session @ Belmont Forum Info Days: Inter-American Forum Day

Tuesday 7 November 2017, APAS Convention Center
Rua Pio XI, 1200 – Alto da Lapa, São Paulo – SP, Brazil

Each event this week builds upon the one before, moving the discussion from prioritization to implementation, ending with a workshop where interested organizations can participate in the process of building an international opportunity around mutual interest in Food Security and Safety. Observers are also welcome to attend, to better understand the Belmont Forum collaborative process.

This year we also have a number of side events that reflect a growing interest in partnerships to maximize resources and meet grand interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary goals. On Tuesday morning, the Inter-American Forum will be advancing collaborative possibilities among economies of all sizes in the Americas. The Global Forum will bring together on Friday philanthrophic and aid and development organizations to enable transformative projects that address the Sustainable Development Goals.

The progression from Regional Info Day to funding workshop allows the Forum members and partners to interact with a cross-cut of implementers, funders, coordinators, and stakeholders from the Americas as well as other regions.
