In preparation to the CSD-16 Review session, five Regional Implementation Meetings (RIMs) were organized by the Regional Commissions in collaboration with the CSD Secretariat. Moreover, national multi-stakeholder consultations have also taken place, as well as specific sectoral and regional consultations. 

The five RIMs, now at their 3rd edition since their establishment as a preparatory component of the new CSD implementation cycle, attracted an increased interest from major group organisations, and provided new spaces for engagement, through more participatory and interactive formats.
 

Major groups used the RIMs as opportunities to organize capacity building activities such as workshops and side events. A record of the activities occurred in two of the five RIMs (due to capacity and minimal funding availability) can be accessed below:
