initiates action, and does not undermine it!
The initiative
does not intend to undermine the efforts made by the countries,
rather it aims at stimulating action on critical areas to
support effective implementation of the Global Strategy. We
believe that, when individuals or nations look closely at
their own data, it is likely to stimulate corrective measures
among them.
