- promote, facilitate, manage and co-ordinate activities carried out in the approved region
- operate in accordance with mechanisms that each region establishes in co-ordination with the Board, the Committees, and the Working Groups
Tasks and mandates of the Focal Points should clearly be defined in letters of understanding between the global bodies and the Focal Point. They should have a workplan /programme and report about results to the board or GA.
In any case the Focal Points are temporary and not for ever and they act as delegates of HIC global within the limits of the given mandates.
In a review of the constitution the Focal Points should be replaced by associations of HIC members i a region, which elect their own coordination and representation to the global HIC board.
