During the WIW, a diversity of outreach activities is carried out byparticipating IOSCO member jurisdictions. By using the IOSCO network to facilitate a coordinated and, therefore, more powerful approach, the IOSCOWIW also provides a framework for individual jurisdictions to publicize their investor education and protectioninitiatives and to deliver more tailored messaging within their jurisdictions.
