Our Working Groups
Working Groups support the delivery of REAP’s strategy and advance specific thematic areas of work. Participation in Working Groups is voluntary, with interested REAP partners and observers invited to participate on a ‘opt-in’ basis. Working Groups may contribute to the preparation of policy papers and recommendations to the Board. The Working Groups and their areas of work remain flexible to the needs of the Partnership and will evolve with the implementation of REAP.
