Country Points of Contact
The Country Points of Contact play a vital role in assuring the success of environmental cooperation. Designated by the ministries or departments responsible for cooperation, they are the “glue” of Program coordination. They receive and transmit information to and from their governments, other Points of Contact and implementing agencies, contractors and NGOs.
