IPRTA Forum Vision 2020
As a follow-up to IPRTA Forum Mexico 08, the IPRTA Forum Secretariat has composed IPRTA Forum Vision 2020 document, which we have put together as part of the outcome of Forum Mexico 08 - basically as a suggested roadmap for developing the Forum's work over the next 3 years.

The idea behind the Vision 2020 document is to provide a framework and vehicle for translating the ideas and aspirations expressed by stakeholders at Forum Mexico 08 into concrete actions, delivering tangible results and improvements in the quality, effectiveness, and sustainability of IPRTA programmes.

We are now consulting with Forum stakeholders and partners to get their feedback and validation on Vision 2020 and the approach set out therein for moving forward with the Forum as an international knowledge-based network and resource centre on IPRTA.

The document is available to download here (PPT, 3.5 MB). We have also opened a thread to discuss the presentation on the iForums. To join you need to register here. Please also note the additional commentary in the "notes"-section of the presentation. We hope active reactions and responses from all stakeholders, so we can establish an as effective and interesting workplan as possible.
