Arthur Chan said… Dear Mar
Greetings from Nairobi. The UNEP South-South Cooperation Unit is carrying out an evaluation of the South-South Cooperation Exchange Mechanism (www.unep.org/south-south-cooperation) to assess user experiences and needs, with the objective of providing insight on how to better promote South-South cooperation activities related to environment and sustainable development. As a South-South Opportunity member, you were invited to explore and get involved with the UNEP SSC Exchange Mechanism. Based on this, we are conducting an on-line survey to seek your valuable input focusing on:
(a) the quality of various aspects of the platform (appearance, navigation, content, etc.)
(b) your needs and expectations (utility, affiliations, interests, etc.)
We would be grateful if you could complete the survey by following this link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/9H56F62
The survey will remain on-line until 07 August 2012 and requires only a few minutes to complete.
Thank you for your participation.
