  4. Where we stand on Goals & Objectives • The PFD will primarily focus on European development policies, also considering global development agendas. • The PFD should not become the only entry point between the EU and CSOs & LAs. • The PFD should cover cross-cutting issues directly related to the role of CSOs & LAs as relevant development actors. • The PFD should be a reciprocalmulti-stakeholder space allowing for policy debate & exchange of information among relevant development actors across regions and levels. • Like the SD, the PFD will not be a negotiation space; but rather a consensus building mechanism, which can issue joint recommendations to the actors involved. • The PFD should cover three dimensions: • Supporting the implementation of the SD recommendations by all actors involved; • Further elaboration on the selected SD themes; • Promoting the policy debate & exchange of information and experiences on the EU main policies and initiatives, as well as on-going institutional reforms and constraints to CSOs/LAs participation in development.

  6. Proposed allocation of seats

  7. Proposed selection mechanisms • Representatives shall be appointed/selected (on the basis of commonly agreed criteria) by the representative regional platforms & networks (auto-selection process). • This process is confirmed for LRAs; Cooperatives; TUs and the Private sector • As regards NGOs, a regional tailored approach is proposed: • Latin America - identification by well established regional platform and sub-regional constituencies • Africa – identification by (sub) regional platforms /network (on going process of structuring) • Asia – use of current CPDE systems to identify best options at sub-regional level • ENP South – identification by sectoral networks, which shall coordinated to put together a joint proposal • ENP east – need to deepen the regional analysis of existing actors, processes and dynamics.

  8. Proposed membership criteria • Mandated representative of a properly constituted and recognised structure/ platform and/or of an organisation affiliated to sectoral/national/regional networks. • Expertise in the topics addressed at the PFD & proven track record (i.e. a minimum of years) • Gender balance • In case of regional networks, proven regional representativeness & inclusiveness. • Institutional capacity to play as a facilitator of the process in two directions: globally and locally. • Commitment to take part in the PFD in the short and medium term and availability. • High level representation • Excellent communication skills (verbal and written) & good interpersonal skills. • Language skills (EN/FR or SP)
