Implementation Framework

Our implementation framework will be based on the United Nations’ geoscheme, a system which divides the 249 countries and territories of the world into six regional and 22 subregional groups. It was devised by the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD) based on the M49 coding classification. In some cases, it is modified by UN agencies for specific forms of policy—such as by the WHO, where Geographic groupings must also reflect global health models. Because the Charter of Makkah advocates for global cooperation, and urges involvements in sustainable development, the UNSD Geoscheme model will allow CoM goals to work concurrently with an existing initiative under UN and Global Development frameworks.
