CCDA-III draft agenda

It was a good conference with many important points covered.
My comment is however  it felt that there were too many papers but less time to have an in depth discussion on any of the points.  The outcomes are therefore a bit general without detailed recommendation.  
It is clear such conferences can not come up with specific recommendation for specific bodies, but i think  there must be some kind of a goal for such an important, high level body of critical mass to make some kind of an influence towards the discussion/negotiation on climate change.....this kinds of participants are very important for detailing and crystallizing pertinent issues for the continent....apart from the awareness raising, knowledge and experience sharing opportunity.  Who else is there in this continent to come up with valid and evidence based arguments then?
It was clear that everyone agreed that researches done in the continent are not used up by policy makers and are not reaching to policy makers and end users.....well, may be this is the opportunity for this conference organizers to use this gap to gather demand driven research that will support policy makers and negotiators help them articulate their thinking.
I say this because, the continent is too far away form having a bargaining power in the negotiation.....for reasons that were pointed in the conference....but i think it is too late at this stage to discuss these.....because some of the points have been identified quite long ago ......Africa is weak in the negotiation......At this point the rash should be how to reverse this situation and strategizing on to how to come out of this mess and help this continent gain some leverage based on its demands and needs -  level out the playing field.    The negotiation will not wait for us and it does not have a mechanism to give the weak a head start..........Negotiators are fighting it out everyday with all that they can.
I am emphasizing this because, i felt that the discussions were a bit too laid back...and researchers, mostly researchers are in their business as usual mode.....what about alternatives and principles where evidence and scientific results are not readily available............i don't think we can afford to continue at this pace!!!   
Sorry for the long message! but thank you for the opportunity to comment.
