The Expanded Constituency Workshops keep the GEF National Focal Points, Convention Focal Points and other key stakeholders, including civil society, up to date on GEF strategies, policies and procedures and to encourage coordination. The events enable focal points to meet with their counterparts from other countries in the region. They also allow other GEF partners, especially GEF Agencies, to discuss and review policies and procedures and to share experiences from GEF projects and their integration within national policy frameworks.  

The Middle East and North Africa ECW will bring together the following Constituencies: a) Afghanistan, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan, Syria, Yemen; b) Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia c) Iran; and d) Turkey.
