General Profile of Forum Participants/Beneficiaries The Forum will bring together representatives of the public sector, the private/productive sector and civil society from the four PA countries and Canada. The beneficiaries of the thematic forums fall into the following diverse categories of participants (listed below). Additionally, since this forum will be a virtual event and registration is open (and free of charge)1, participants may be more diverse. We have welcomed and encouraged Program partners to share their invitation through their respective professional networks, thus creating indirect beneficiaries. The minimum attendance goal is 200 people in total, but we hope to achieve much larger participation due to the virtual and open nature of the Forum. 1.
