The self-selection process will be coordinated by the Stakeholder Forum with an Advisory Group for NGOs and Indigenous Peoples, and a separate Advisory Group for the Private Sector. Criteria for the selection of representatives for each of these groups will be based on regional and gender balance, and knowledge of and experience with CIF programme areas.
