Under Output 1 of the UN-PRAC Project Phase II, reference to seminars for the private sector is made in relation to:
Activity 1.2 – Countries encouraged and supported to ratify UNCAC (paying particular attention to strengthening the engagement of women in this work);
Activity 1.3 – Countries supported to participate in UNCAC Review Mechanism (supports private sector involvement in the review process, “including where possible gender advocates”);
Activity 2.2 – Non-state actors undertake effective AC advocacy and monitoring.
