Dear colleagues and friends,

Warm greetings from the RCE Global Service Centre!

We are starting preparations for the RCE Global Conference operational session on Communications and Outreach. We have made some significant progress since our last meeting in Kerkrade, and several of you have joined the Communications Working Group that was set up to help move last year's action points along. It has been a pleasure working with you on these efforts!

Share some of the ongoing capacity development programs in your RCE. What are the key issues/challenges facing your RCE in implementing the capacity development initiatives?
