– Hosting MoU signed December 2006– Administrative Reporting to the Assistant

expanded and intensified support to Round 7• The amount of funds, therefore, received by the

KEY CHALLENGES • Alignment: Because of the broad and inclusive nature

of the Partnership, building consensus & buy in can take time– Preparation of the 2008 Harmonized Work Plan should be a

great help in overcoming these challenges

• Human Resource Constraints: In the Secretariat, SRNs and WGs, a lack of staff has hampered a number of activities– The recruitment process for the Secretariat has been delayed in

2008, however it has accelerated since August, with all positions expected to be filled by year’s end.

– There is a need to expand full-time membership in Working Groups, especially the Harmonization Working Group, and establish permanent focal points and core members in SRNs
