KEY CHALLENGES
• Alignment: Because of the broad and inclusive nature
of the Partnership, building consensus & buy in can take
time
– Preparation of the 2008 Harmonized Work Plan should be a
great help in overcoming these challenges
• Human Resource Constraints: In the Secretariat,
SRNs and WGs, a lack of staff has hampered a number
of activities
– The recruitment process for the Secretariat has been delayed in
2008, however it has accelerated since August, with all positions
expected to be filled by year’s end.
– There is a need to expand full-time membership in Working
Groups, especially the Harmonization Working Group, and
establish permanent focal points and core members in SRNs
