In addition, the Ministries for Agriculture, Environment and Foreign Affairs has a close cooperation in this regard in order to ensure synergies. Sweden has however not carried out any specific initiatives in development countries in this regard during 2012-2013. A synergetic approach to the issues covered by the Rio Conventions has been reflected in our main policy documents related to development assistance: Politik för Global Utveckling and the new Aid Policy Framework (Biståndspolitisk Plattform) which will apply for the next reporting period. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Aid Policy Framework http://www.regeringen.se/sb/d/108/a/242899 0 1 0 1 ITP in West Africa, Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (see Annex from Sida) International Training Programme in West Africa, Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute Subregion Western Africa No Yes Sida is supporting the European Capacity Building Initiative (ECBI), see Annex from Sida.

Sweden further takes note that the scope of time for reporting was limited and the final reporting template was available at a late stage, making it a challenge to report in a timely manner. A longer reporting timeline would facilitate planning of work. We would therefore prefer to have at least six months for the full reporting cycle from the date of publication of the final templates to final submission of the report.
