The SCC discussed two topics:

  • Capacity building. Participants received an update on the capacity building programme. It was acknowledged that capacity building is required for everyone globally, but that there needs to be a specific focus on the Global South. Discussion by participants included questions on the need for guidance for emerging markets and smaller entities, and how SCC members can contribute as partners to the capacity building programme.
