IPRRG members, particularly from EU countries: please read the following request from Olga Olson in the OECD Environment Directorate. You can reach Olga via email (olga.olson “AT” oecd.org)

As part of a project on “Promoting Green Deal Readiness in the Eastern Partnership Countries” (PROGRESS), we are organizing two webinars with Armenia, on 1) pest, disease and invasive species management, and 2) sustainable pesticide and fertiliser management in agriculture. The goal of the webinars is to discuss the challenges of Armenia’s policy frameworks in these areas and how they could possibly be improved. The dates are tbd, but potentially they could take place in late November/early December.

We are looking for technical EU country experts in these fields to take part in the webinars and provide assessments/answer questions from the Armenian stakeholders. Beyond the webinars, there could also be a possibility for the experts to be involved in follow-up policy support to Armenia.

If you might know relevant experts, we would be most grateful to receive their contact information, if possible, by the end of this week (by Friday 24 October).

Thank you very much in advance, I would be happy to provide any clarifications you might need.

Best regards,
Olga
