A5I expert review meetings in Cape Town and Bujumbura

The aim of the second set of workshops was to receive feedback from designated expert reviewers, who reviewed completed DIPs. The DIPS has been completed by A5I staff. Participants met on 5-6 February 2013 in Cape Town, South Africa and 20-21 February 2013 in Bujumbura, Burundi.

The purpose of the second workshop was to test the model to assess whether national stakeholders could it for their own evaluation of compliance, and to also verify that the A5I staff had been comprehensive in their evaluation of domestic compliance. The completed DIP then constituted a comprehensive overview of the state of compliance of each country with their obligations under UNCAT. Participants were then able to provide further feedback on the information to be provided when completing the information required for the DIP.
