    The Stakeholders Meeting will promote political debates on the central and transversal themes to be discussed in the Forum, enabling the coordination between the work accomplished in the past months by the Thematic Working Groups with the four main Political Segments (Ministerial, Parliamentarian, Local and Regional Authorities and River Basins).

    A detailed program and logistical information will be available in the coming weeks. We would like to kindly ask you to save the date in your calendars.
