Closing Plenary

The Way Forward

Global Consultation 2009, Istanbul

Thursday 2 April 14:30-16:30

The closing plenary will provide delegates the opportunity to reflect upon key findings that emerged from the three days of the INEE Global Consultation through a facilitated conversation with a small panel of INEE members who are representative of the diverse membership of the network. The panelists will highlight areas of shared consensus and priorities for collective action, as well as discuss remaining gaps and those issues requiring further dialogue and research. A presentation of an historical case study of INEE as a network by the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) will highlight INEE's strengths and challenges since its inception, its changing role over time, and make recommendations for the network's continued development as an collaborative community that is responsive to emerging issues in the field. Finally, representatives from the INEE Steering Group and Secretariat will close the consultation with a synthesis of concrete steps that the network will take to respond to the key areas identified for follow-up and action.
