Agreement Secondment Programme

Punta del Este

Encuentro; Eighth Meeting of the Advisory Committee; 2014

Acuerdo sobre la Conservación de Albatros y Petreles

A new strategy for the Agreement?s secondment programme was adopted by MoP4, to be implemented in coordination between the Secretariat and the Advisory Committee, allowing secondments to occur either in the Agreement?s Headquarters in Hobart or at other institutions, and following the schedule of two calls every three financial years in line with the grant scheme. In September 2013 the first call for secondments under this new scheme was opened. Four secondment proposals were submitted, requesting a total of AUD 47,300. Only one of these proposals was successful and was granted AUD 11,600. Details of secondment proposals received and granted are given, and the reasons for not allocating the total available funds as indicated by the Secretariat are discussed.
