Secretariat work plans for the biennium 2018-2019

At their meetings in 2017, the conferences of the Parties to the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm conventions approved the programmes of work and budgets for the biennium 2018-2019 (decisions BC-13/24, RC-8/17, SC-8/27), including 36 programme of work activities. During those meetings, the conferences of the Parties also undertook their second review of the synergies arrangements.

The Secretariat has developed work plans for how to implement the programmes of work of the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm conventions.

Following the successful second and last review of the synergies arrangements, the conferences of the Parties adopted decisions BC-13/18, RC-8/11 and SC-8/21 on enhancing cooperation and coordination among the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm conventions, thereby concluding the process of review of those arrangements. Accordingly, the frequency of the reports on the implementation of the workplans developed by the Secretariat has, from 2018 onwards, gradually become aligned with that of the work programmes, with one report on implementation provided for each year of the biennium, thereby ensuring that Parties are adequately informed of progress made in the use of resources and the implementation of the work programme, taking into account cost and benefit.
