Multi-Stakeholder Meeting for UNCSD Rio+20 Conference The conference venue was at South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI). Our role in that meeting was to make sure that African stakeholders are aware of the existence of the Network (AfroMont) and its activities. We also contributed in improving the Zero draft which will be submitted next week. I was very excited when I read a paragraph depicting the importance of mountains on the Rio+20 Zero Draft for Africa. Thus, the idea of meeting policy-makers and enlightening them on crucial environmental issues can help in sensitizing communities about research outputs. Elise Haber, one of the South African stakeholders for Rio+20, told me "I used the Lucerne conference in Switzerland and the conference in Uganda (Mbale) outputs as a basis" to elaborate on a Mountains section. The paragraph is under Chapter V Framework for action and follow-up, Section Priority/ key/ thematic/cross-sectorial issues and areas, article 94.
