In this regard, the group has designed a series of consultations aimed at Member States to learn about the status of implementation of UN-IGIF in the Americas. These consultations have highlighted the importance of delving into tangible experiences in each of the countries in which they work. 9 strategic paths of the Framework: Governance; Policies and Legal Framework; Finance; Data; Innovation; Standards; Partnerships; Capabilities and Education; and Communication and Engagement.
