Title of the activity
WTO Chairs Programme Annual Conference
Activity Type
Global
Description
The Conference will take stock of the work undertaken by Chairs, mainly phase 3 Chairs during their third year of implementation. Chair holders will be invited to make brief presentations on the progress and achievements they have made, as well as the main challenges encountered in implementation, and their plans for sustainability. Moreover, the Annual Conference will integrate phase 4 Chairs into the existing WCP Network, assisting them establishing relationships with the Academic Advisory Board, Geneva missions and the Secretariat. Advisory Board members of the WCP will also be invited to comment on the programmes and outputs delivered by the participating institutions, and on the future of the programme. As was the case in last year's Annual Conference, thematic sessions will also be organized in collaboration with WTO Secretariat Divisions, as well as with country group representatives and/or with Geneva delegations of beneficiaries.
