Daejeon (Republic of Korea) Virtual, 12 - 13 October 2021 – The Second Regional Advisory Group (“RAG”) Meeting was held 12 – 13 October 2021. The RAG guides and reviews CoE progress and achievements to ensure the relevance and quality of CoE products, suggests new relevant activities, and areas of potential partnerships and research areas.
The Advisory Group is comprised of individual experts in the field, from UN agencies, regional Member States and academia with technical expertise in the cross-cutting fields of statistics, crime and policymaking.
Following up on the discussions during the First RAG Meeting, held in Bangkok, Thailand, 2020, in the 2nd RAG meeting, the Advisory Group helped identify potential areas of work to carry out in the coming years, reviewing CoE’s current approaches, strategies, and activities, assessing adherence of the outcomes from last year against the initial objectives.
Some of the key outcomes of the Second RAG Meeting include the identification of several areas the CoE should prioritize in the future, such as the development of tailored solutions for the data collection challenges in the region, and additional research on key themes, such as Cybercrime and Violence Against Women (VAW).
