Mountain Forum often undertakes new initiatives and experiments in collaboration between the Secretariat and the five regional networks in Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America and North America to promote global action which could support the process of sustainable mountain development more effectively. These new initiatives are often focused on new models of information exchange, knowledge sharing and management, and networking using new communications technologies as well adapting traditional communications tools.

New initiatives by Mountain Forum are not independently carried out by the Mountain Forum Secretariat and are always undertaken in consultation with regional nodes and network members. Consultations and discussions between network members are the operational values of the Mountain Forum to keep the organisation open, democratic, decentralised and flexible.

If you have any ideas on new approaches that we should try out, please email us at initiatives[at]mtnforum[dot]org.

Mountain Forum's most recent initiative was the radio project carried out as a collaborative experiment between the Mountain Forum Secretariat, the Asia-Pacific Mountain Network and Radio Sagarmatha. To read more about this initiative, click here.
