All regions currently face problems in receiving information
translated into their regional languages, though Asia Pacific less
than others as English is spoken and understood well in all their
countries. Translation into all GCE languages is required for
effective engagement of the entire constituency. Translations done
by GCE translators may take time to finish and share with regions.
So delays are often expected. *The responsiveness of coalitions
suffers as a result (related to point 3 on the left).
Low or lack of responsiveness may result from language barriers and
delays to receive communication from GPE/GCE as well as translation
delays, internet connectivity issues, low level of understanding of
GPE processes and not seeing a value added through participation,
and operating in fragile/conflict affected countries.
Lack of or limited human/financial resources from regions in order
to conduct their work effectively. The focal point role that they
perform is not a standalone role, and in fact an additional one on
top of regional focal points' own regional obligations for their
organisations. Therefore current regional focal points must work
within existing time restraints as well as a lack of or limited
additional human/financial resources to assist with activities
related to the support to GCE on CSO2/GPE.
