All cases will be reviewed by UNEP's Division of Regional Cooperation South-South Cooperation team as well as the Division of Communications and Public Information to ensure that cases published demonstrate the requirements above. Once submitted, you will be contacted by the South-South Cooperation team, which will work with you to develop the case.
