  14. Approach and modalities for the implementation of the Programmes • Involvement of IUCN members in the implementation of the programmes. • Promoting and encouraging adhesion of new IUCN Members to strengthen IUCN representation and diversify activities. • Coordination with IUCN Regional Offices in Europe and in West Asia when implementing similar thematic activities in Mediterranean countries. • Supporting the establishment of IUCN national committees in each country. • Providing technical and scientific information to Members and partners and its adaptation to region and country level specificities. • Assisting in setting proper conservation actions through pilot projects including new approaches and conservation models for further strategies to be developed and implemented.
