This report is based on a compilation of experiences and comparative analysis of the process related to NAPs, in Denmark, Sweden and Finland. Norway has had the opportunity to reflect on these findings in the national debate about whether and how to adopt a NAP of its own.
The findings concerning the adoption and implementation of the National Action Plans and the relations between political decisionmakers, civil society and other stakeholders, are presented in the following pages, first in short national narratives and then condensed and compiled in a change to comparative Matrix chart.
Based on these findings, the Nordic CSOs have elaborated a series of recommendations that were found to be valid and pertinent for all the countries involved.
