Evaluation of FAO’s Intergovernmental Commodity Groups Colombo, Sri Lanka, 30 January – 1 February 2012 INTERGOVERNMENTAL GROUP ON TEA
Reform of the CCP and IGGs • 68th session of Committee on Commodity Problems (CCP): agreement to establish an open-ended working group to review the roles and working arrangements of the CCP and its subsidiary bodies • The OEWG met twice: December 2010 and November 2011 • Next OEWG meeting: 8th February 2012
Reform of the CCP and IGGs • Idea is for the OEWG to come up with a set of recommendations for consideration by the next session of CCP (May 2012) • Progress has been made on several fronts, esp. with regard to the working of the CCP itself • IGGs: some discussion has started but no specific action (CCP Secretariat produced a document reviewing the IGGs)
… where do we stand… • IGGs regarded as potentially important, but some concern was expressed re the performance of some of the Groups • Some IGGs were recognized as very active, have ambitious work plans and address relevant issues to Members • At the last meeting, OEWG agreed on need for a thorough assessment of each IGG for decision
