As part of the Japan G8 Global Project that ODI is currently undertaking, we are hosting various consultations and workshops building up to the Japan G8 Summit in 2008.
The first workshop, the Japan G8 Global Project Inception Workshop, was held in Accra, Ghana from 8-10 October 2007 and was designed to help lay the groundwork for the project. Beyond a presentation introducing ODI/RAPID and the ebpdn as well as the Japanese approach to development and a background on the G8, the main aims of the workshop were to:
- Agree on two or three policy areas on which to focus to influence G8 Japan outcomes
- Develop amethodology for gathering and synthesizing research-based evidence.
- Develop a communication and lobbying strategy
For a more in-depth look at the workshop, download the Workshop Presentation ( 3.77mb).
The next workshop will be held 24-26 October 2007 in Tokyo, Japan with more information posted here as it becomes available.
