Considers that informal round tables, such as the sixth InterAgency Round Table on Communication for Development, organized at Harare by
the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, can
constitute a notable mechanism of inter-agency cooperation and coordination
for promoting and advancing communication for development, owing, inter alia,
to their openness to partners outside the United Nations system and the
outreach of their outcomes;
