ESCWA Technical Cooperation Network, tenth meeting
Amman
Technical Committee
The Technical Committee, comprising high-level senior officials from member States, was formed in 2006 pursuant to the decision of the Commission at its twenty-fourth session to increase interaction and consultation between Commission members and the secretariat.
The Committee was tasked with:
- Assisting the secretariat in formulating the ESCWA strategic framework and programme of work;
- Following up on their implementation, on the implementation of resolutions and on any outstanding matters that require action; and
- Assisting the secretariat in identifying emerging economic and social issues and other relevant priority issues for incorporation into the agendas of Commission sessions.
The scope of its terms of reference was broadened in 2014 and it was redesignated “Executive Committee”.
