  5. National & Regional Preparatory Process Cluster NRPP cluster is focused on enabling Member States to get the most out of the conference so that their post-UNCSD implementation is most successful. This will entail: • support to the political process and institution strengthening; • building indigenous capacity to move beyond their current state of development; and • establishing knowledge networks and implementation partnerships.

  6. National & Regional Preparatory Process Cluster Objectives • To ensure that adequate support is provided for national preparations for the UNCSD; • To also ensure that national capacities are strengthened or created to ensure follow-up and implementation of outcomes of the Conference beyond 2012; and • To ensure that adequate regional preparations are conducted and that the preparatory process captures regional perspectives.

  7. National Preparations The NRPP Cluster national level activities: • ensure that UN Resident Coordinators and UNDP country offices are engaged in the preparatory work; • conduct capacity needs assessment and provide support to selected countries for institution strengthening; • support selected countries in developing plans for their national preparatory processes; and • support national multi-stakeholder dialogues.

  8. Regional Preparations The NRPP Cluster regional level activities: • establish a Regional UNCSD Preparations Task Force in collaboration with the regional commissions to ensure that regional preparations are well informed and avoid duplication of efforts; • maintain a list of regional preparatory meetings, including outcomes of meetings; • support other UNCSD clusters in the organization of technical meetings and briefings; and • support regional multi-stakeholder dialogues.

  9. NRPP Cluster Key Activities & Outputs • Assist up to 60 selected countries in targeted preparations for UNCSD; • Continue to use DSD training centres: the UN Centre for Regional Development (UNCRD), the UN Project Office in Zaragoza, and the new Office to be opened in Seoul, Republic of Korea to assist countries in their preparatory processes; • Assign Interregional Advisors and consultants to assist developing countries in targeted capacity building activities based on country requests; • While regional priorities will be driven by the regional commissions, the UNCSD secretariat will collaborate with RCs in spearheading successful regional preparations. Several RCs have already programmed such meetings. The cluster has instituted a monthly teleconference with the RCs to ensure synergies and dissemination of information.
