The CIF 2011 Partnership Forum, hosted by the African Development Bank, aims to ensure that the CIF effectively shares lessons and fully engages stakeholders to contribute to the CIF’s strategic directions, results and impacts.<\/p>\n

At the request of the Climate Investment Funds (CIF) Administrative Unit, Stakeholder Forum for a Sustainable Future is supporting the mobilisation and engagement of stakeholders for the CIF Partnership Forum 2011.<\/p>\n

As well as supporting NGO, Indigenous Peoples and Private Sector ‘Active Observers’ to attend the meeting, the CIF Administration Unit based at the World Bank will be funding a number of stakeholder representatives from developing countries to attend the meeting to ensure a wide range of voices are represented.<\/p>\n

The selection process<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Stakeholder Forum is supporting the self-selection process, and together with an Advisory Group for NGOs and Indigenous Peoples, and a separate Private Sector advisory group, has generated two sets of criteria for selecting representatives from developing countries to attend the meeting. Both of these include regional balance, gender balance and relevant knowledge and experience of the CIF programme areas. The selection criteria for developing country representatives from NGOs (including Indigenous Peoples) is available here<\/a> and the selection criteria for Private Sector stakeholders is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The following two forms will collect information from all of the applicants in accordance with the self-selection criteria. Completing the form should take no more than 10 minutes.
