The Working Groups provide the forum for undertaking specific operational and technical activities within the Network and result in specific outputs. The Network defines Working Groups as dynamic collaborations between members, which size and duration depends on the activity. Some Working Groups might only get together for a specific project while others might work on a more long-term programme. Each Working Group has a facilitator and is approved by the General Assembly.
