NATIONAL FOCAL POINTS

In each Baltic Sea country there is an organisation that acts as a national focal point. The role of the focal point is to spread information about the forum among the NGOs in the country, and to coordinate the national preparatory process. In most countries there is also a national preparatory committee consisting of members of a number of NGOs.

The focal point organisation takes registrations nationally and sends the Finnish secretariat the list of participants. NGOs interested in participating in the forum or joining in the preparations should contact the focal point in their country.
