Priority Area Assessment on Capacity Building
- Report of the CSPR Assessment Panel
The 27th General Assembly (GA)
of ICSU, held in September 2002, endorsed the recommendation of the Committee
on Scientific Planning and Review (CSPR) to carry out a Priority Area
Assessment (PAA) on Capacity Building as part of ICSU’s overall
strategy development process. An independent ad hoc expert panel has been
established to carry out this assessment, which will be completed by the
end of 2004.
The PAA will help define ICSU’s role and future strategy in the
broad area of capacity building, with a particular focus on the needs
of developing countries.
The immediate outcome of the PAA will be a report and key recommendations
that will be published and widely disseminated. This report will form
the basis for future actions by ICSU and ICSU family members and partners,
including the potential development of new programmes, the development
of policy initiatives and definition of priorities for the ICSU grants
programme.
