Responding to a request by the Government of the Republic of Belarus, the UNECE secretariat undertook in 2010 a pilot project “Innovation Performance Review of Belarus”. This participatory policy advisory service was carried out by a group of international experts and experts from the secretariat in close cooperation with the national authorities and local experts. The main outcomes of this project, including its preliminary conclusions and recommendations, will be discussed during the substantive segment of the fifth session of CECI (Geneva, 1 – 3 December 2010).
At its fifth session, CECI will also review the implementation of its programme of work and the outputs delivered by its Teams of Specialists and networks of experts. The focus of the Committee’s activities is on capacity-building and other technical cooperation services in countries with economies in transition. The fifth session will also deliberate on its programme of work in 2011 and the renewal of the mandates of its Teams of Specialists. Finally, CECI will discuss the preparation of the 2010-2011 biennial evaluation of the Committee’s programme implementation, which is part of a United Nations-wide effort to improve transparency and accountability.
