Dear Natia

Many thanks for sharing. The budget looks good to me. I am thinking about modifying the mechanism for PAAC technical assistance. Instead of having one TA person assigned to PAAC we may need to mobilize more specific TA based on the needs. We would need to have a mechanism for recruiting short term advisors as needed. As for the secretarial support to PAAC- I would kindly ask the CCM secretariat to assume this role, as workload for inviting PAAC meetings and writing minutes is quite low.

With kind regards

Tamar

Dear Tamar,

The Face-sheet of the agreement is also attached (the signing of the of agreement face-sheet is required after the budget is finalized).

By February 21, we are requested to submit the budget, agreed and endorsed by all CCM.

After your revision we will follow the established procedures (communication with the Chairperson and all CCM).

In addition, before 15 March we are requested to submit: Expenditure Report Year 3; Performance Evaluation Year 3 (including CCM Secretariat evaluation).

Thank you very much for your tremendous assistance.
