Dear Chambi Chachage,

I am happy to send you the outcome document of the Africa Regional Mountains Forum held in Arusha on 22 – 24 October 2014.

The forum was attended by more than 100 participants coming from 21 countries and working in various fields ranging from government to civil society, private sector, academia and international development agencies.

The outcome document of the forum, named "Arusha Outcomes", highlights the importance of African mountains as pillars of sustainable development on the continent and proposes the establishment of the Africa Regional Mountains Forum to provide a platform to promote sustainable mountain development agenda and strategy in Africa and to provide a forum of knowledge, information exchange and policy dialogue in close cooperation with the Mountain Partnership.

You will find attached here the final outcome document (Arusha Outcomes) as well as the summary report of the forum by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD).

You can also access the presentations given during the forum on the ARBMIS portal launched during the forum (register a new user account or log in as "guest user".

You can also follow the coverage of the forum by IISD on their website here or access the HTML Forum report here.

We have finally created a photo album for the forum in a public folder on Dropbox which can be accessed here.

If you want to keep informed on future activities under this programme, please bookmark the event's website where more updates will be posted regularly including the videos of presentations, key addresses given during the forum and many more documentaries on African Mountains.

We thank you for your interest in SMD and appreciate your collaboration in keeping the African mountains on the general sustainable development agenda.

With warm regards
