In 2005, as a follow-up on the implementation of the Mauritius Strategy, the United Nations Department of Economic
and Social Affairs convened regional and inter-regional meetings of the SIDS in partnership with relevant regional
organizations and stakeholders. The main objective of the consultations was to identify specific programmes and projects to
give effect to the undertakings set out in the Mauritius Strategy for Implementation (MSI).
The regional meetings were held in St. Kitts & Nevis (5-7 October), Samoa (17-19 October) and Seychelles (26-28 October). The
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Italy hosted the inter-regional meeting which took place in Rome (15-16 November). Additionally, on 18 and 23 November, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) held special meetings on food security and sustainable development in Small Island Developing States. All final reports of the meetings may be found on SIDSNet.
