“The Dialogue will deliberate on areas for capacity-building of Parliamentarians in providing effective oversight for implementation of the climate actions,” they observed.
The Speakers noted that the Dialogue will culminate in adopting the Parliamentarian’s statement at the African Climate Summit.
