The objectives of the piece of work were as follows:

1. To assess the strategic and institutional pre-requisites  (including necessary tools, processes and resources) and recommend a framework for enhancing the role of Major Groups and Stakeholders in implementing the POW 2010-11

2. To identify the kinds of partnerships with Major Groups and Stakeholders that will assist in implementing the Programme of Work

3. To highlight examples of successful partnerships with Major Groups and Stakeholders in order to support the above

4. To map Major Groups organisations that are accredited to UNEP according to the six thematic priority areas

Stakeholder Forum interviewed a range of UNEP staff across the Divisions and consulted widely among civil society. The resulting paper with recommendations is available to download below:
