The purpose of the workshop was to discuss the various aspects of the book project and jointly decide on the major focus and items of the content, target audience, terminology, formats of text and sections and operational issues such
as drafting process and work plan. A general list of content has been identified during the workshop and serves as guideline for drafting the various country contributions. More details on the workshop and its results are provided in the workshop report.
