  4. EDPRS IWG Objectives (Cont’d) • The primary role of the IWGs is: • to ensure cross-sectoral coordination in policy implementation • to discuss policy issues and monitor implementation • to update the EDPRS Results and Policy Matrix • to address implementation bottle-necks and provide recommendations on way forward • IWGs will meet quarterly to discuss progress. Key outputs are to: • Produce biannual ‘traffic lights’ progress reports on relevant sections of the EDPRS Results and Policy Matrix, in March and August • Based on these reviews, discuss and recommend necessary revisions of targets and policy actions • There will also be Cross-Cutting Issues (CCIs) Working Groups, whose main objective is to attend the IWG meetings and ensure sustainable development and CCIs are represented in the IWG discussions and actions.

  5. IWGs versus SWGs • Each IWG comprises a number of Sector Working Groups, but the roles and responsibilities differ:
