8. Applying Regional Approaches to SSG/R – 4

Capitalizing on Existing Regional Knowledge Resources, Co-ordination and Information-Sharing Mechanisms

For supporting regional initiatives and ensuring co-operation across OSCE Executive Structures engaged in a given region, capitalizing on existing knowledge resources and information-sharing mechanisms can be useful in order to identify opportunities, common challenges, best practices and lessons learned. Online information-sharing tools can also provide an important platform for enhancing regional co-operation and collaboration among OSCE staff, as well as serving as useful resources for security sector professionals and civil society.

For examples of such tools, see infobox 2 in chapter 3 of the guidelines.
