 National
focal points
•
Most of present focal points of the project
due to unknown reasons weak in
correspondence
•
Therefore it is necessary to review
national focal points. Membership can
assist to find active focal points
 It
is necessary the project proposal to
reinforce further. Expecting IOC will
assist on this matter. May be by
correspondence or through workshop,
once new focal points been identified.
Sri-Lanka would like to host such event
 Funding Agency – It would grateful if IOC
or regional alliance like BOBLME looking
to this matter
