The success of the workshop and the follow-up activities will depend to a large extent on the 120 professionals, decision-makers and experts we bring together in Addis Ababa. We hope you can help us in our work in identifying these 120 participants by forwarding this information to those you believe should be involved in this workshop. Information (including the Information Note and the Application Form) can be found on the following web sites: www.oosa.unvienna.org/SAP/stdm and www.uneca.org/disd We would most welcome the opportunity of discussing with all those that would like to participate in the workshop.
