Jointly organised by the ICGLR, the OECD and the UN Group of Experts on the DRC, participants focused on:

  • developing a common methodology to evaluate how the recommendations can be implemented throughout the supply chain
  • assessing the consistency of existing industry tools with the UN-OECD framework and how to overcome possible challenges
