Cir#23/61: CONSULTATIONS FOR REVIEW OF THE CORE FUNDING STRUCTURE OF SPREP AND TO ASSIST IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ITS FINANCE & RESOURCE SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY.

Last year, the third SPREP Executive Board meeting endorsed and supported the review of core funding and drafting of an appropriate Finance & Resource Sustainability Strategy for SPREP. The Secretariat, through our procurement process awarded the consultancy contract to David Sheppard Global Environment Consulting Pty Ltd. to conduct the review and to develop the draft finance and resource sustainability strategy for SPREP.

The overall expected outcome of the review is to provide recommendations for Members to help strengthen SPREP’s Core Funding Structure and thus address the issue of sustainable financing for SPREP through the development of the Secretariat’s Finance & Resource Sustainability Strategy.
