For each objective defined, specific aims and actions were established, which need to be implemented in order to attain these objectives.

These consultations consisted in workshops and work meetings aimed at: a) Canvassing the views of the abovementioned agents on relevant matters that must underpin the strategy, in particular constraints, opportunities and challenges; b) Pooling ideas on how to implement the strategy effectively; and c) Collecting information for drafting a framework that reflects the diagnosis of the current situation.
