Also, the WFEO delegation produced together with ICSU, discussion papers for each of such meetings stating the positions of the Scientific and Technological Community on the issues under discussion. The Scientific and Technological Community, made up by WFEO and ICSU, is one of the Major Groups of Civil Society recognized by the U.N. system.<\/p>\n<p>At CSD-17, the Energy Committee co-sponsored, together with the Engineering and Environment and the Capacity Building Committees, the side event on &#8220;Capacity Building: Words Into Action&#8221; to discuss issues on physical, social &amp; economic infrastructure related to Agriculture, Rural development and Land. This event was held on 6 May 2009 and engaged 71 delegates and members of major groups from more than 20 countries who considered perspectives on effective capacity building actions to deal with such issues.<\/p>\n<p>On the occasion of CSD-18, WFEO held a side event on &#8220;Transport Efficiency and Waste Avoidance &#8211; Input for Policy-Makers&#8221;.
