In all the dialogues established, the members of ORU Fogar value very positively the possibility of exchange that the network fosters between regions of different geographies, allowing knowledge of the experiences and projects of others. Among these exchanges, one of the most valued was the virtual meeting held in May 2020 and which allowed, at that initial moment of COVID-19, to share practices in relation to how regions around the world were fighting the pandemic. Thus, in coherence with the spirit of interaction of ORU Fogar, in the call SHALL WE CONNECT? health, social, food and economic reactivation actions were explained.

From global to regional
The year 2022 should be the year of overcoming the Covid-19 pandemic, so that we can all rededicate ourselves to achieving the goals of the 2030 Agenda. The regions must make a special effort to recover from the economic and social consequences of the pandemic. As the United Regions Organization, ORU Fogar, we will strive to share good practices. This new year 2022, we invite you to repeat with "Shall we connect? 2”, to share and exchange experiences on how members of our organization will continue to address this phase of the pandemic.
