 ilot countries is being organized to present and discuss implementation of
  activities related to the measurement of IFFs in Africa\; introduce the p
 articipants to the concepts and definition of IFFs as included in the UNCT
 AD-UNODC Conceptual framework for the statistical measurement of IFF\; and
  present the methodologies and guidelines developed so far by UNCTAD and U
 NODC. The expected outcome of the meeting is to get a clear understanding 
 of country needs\, data gaps and steps needed to pilot the new IFFs method
 ology.\n\n\n\n\n16th June 2021\n \n17th June 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n
