The exchange provided a framework for continuing to strengthen South-South cooperation, a process which got under way with the Quito workshop last year. While this initial exchange was useful in terms of bolstering capacities, and also becoming acquainted with the extent of progress made by countries regarding their REDD+ national plans and strategies, the meeting in Guadalajara served not only to clarify the links between the four pillars but was also helpful for identifying opportunities for enhancing coordination and consistency in the REDD+ preparatory processes at the national level while also promoting joint discussion with a view to studying possible solutions.
