This isn’t a job to many of us; it’s not a 9 to 5 thing that we can set aside from David Turnbull our “normal” lives.

Lessons for Future Work CAN South Asia’s General Assembly SCBP Pre-COP Workshop gathering was supported by CAN The Southern Capacity Building Program has been a great through the Southern Voices Program. learning experience since its conception. The CAN Secretariat has faced many exciting and challenging situations while implementing this program. It has provided a valuable opportunity to work in multicultural and diverse contexts, from which CAN will only benefit, allowing it to become an even stronger network.

Looking forward, some ideas are percolating on how to build upon the lessons and successes of the past in this program, including:

++ shifting the focus to synergy building and experience sharing programs between south-south and north- south regions and networks as greater capacity building activities are now routine; ++ the assistance of more developed southern nodes with capacity building activities for less developed regional nodes to help strengthen the Network; ++ priority support given from the CAN Secretariat to help less developed nodes organize their networks and share information effectively; ++ the support of limited yet motivated southern member individuals to attend the UN negotiations, has helped to build the capacity of the regional/country nodes. This should continue as most of these people continue to be active in CAN, even after their fellowships have ended.

2010 Audit and Annual Report In the first quarter of 2011, CAN had independent auditors undertake a full audit of its fiscal accounts. Building on this, the Secretariat published a complete Annual Report for 2010 (available at http://climatenetwork.org/about/2010-annual- report), which included this successful audit of the 2010 accounts. This was the first time CAN published an annual report and had full fiscal accounts audited.

General Assembly At the 2011 General Assembly, held in Durban, South Africa during the COP17/CMP7, CAN brought together members representing all regional networks within CAN. The members’ assembly reviewed regional activities from the past year, approved financial reports and reviewed the 2010 audit, began the process of amending the CAN Charter with the broad membership, and elected a new Board of Directors.
