Dear Partner,

The EU Facilitation would hereby like to thank you for your invaluable contribution to the 17th Meeting of Parties (MOP) of the CBFP, which took place at the Sawa Hotel in Douala, Cameroon, from 24 to 27 October 2017.

 

Your flexibility, versatility, support and proactive inputs were all much appreciated. The meetings of the colleges, the Council, the Streams and the Plenary session all covered key substantive points and they all went smoothly. We would like to thank you and your entire delegation for the important role you played in ensuring the success of this important international meeting with close to 450 international delegates, including participation at ministerial level.

 

This is your success!

We have received a lot of positive feedback on the 17th MOP. This is largely due to the high quality of the work of the participants, the presentations, and the lively discussions. 

 

Please consult the final communique as well as the meeting and side event documents available here below.  

If you were unable to attend the 17^th MOP, we hope to see you at the next MOP.

Best regards,

EU Facilitation Team
