Similar challenges to other regions in developing world
¿ Need to enhance role of ARD in poverty reduction
.......However...major difference..... Europe is also the
largest funder of global ARD, bilateral and
multilateral .... and a major provider of ARD capability through its ARIs, universities etc (similarity with NAFARD)
......BUT, Europe also has own poverty problems, esp.
in eastern European countries

The ICM4ARD GPP focuses on four issues: advocacy, capacities of IC managers, integration and coherence in information management and improving the governance of the information flow. The major activities within the GPP have been the several regional and inter-regional workshops held every year, where the main actors in ICM for ARD at the regional and global level have been regularly meeting to discuss the state and progress of ICM under the four areas listed above.
The EGFAR Taskforce has the task of ensuring inclusiveness of the Regional Forums in the management of EGFAR, which is the web space of all the GFAR stakeholders and should be co-managed by the Regional Forums.
