In 2007, we helped co-design and deliver a multi-stakeholder forum in Cyprus, supported by United Nations Development Programme.

We also supported the creation of a local governance group to support joint actions across sectors and borders. The Forum is designed to bring together diverse stakeholders from the Greek-Cypriot and Turkish-Cypriot communities, including representatives from various political parties, in order to generate longer term partnerships and initiatives across these historically divided communities.
