The session will review progress made in executing the Common Indicative Programme (CIP) 2010-2012 in support of ECCAS, CEMAC and their specialised institutions and adopt the second CIP to run from 2013 to 2015.

A preliminary assessment report on the state of execution of the 2010-2012 CIP shows that 54 out of the 96 planned projects of the Programme have been executed, giving a percentage score of 53.6. Most of the implemented projects fall within the domains of infrastructural development, governance, peace and security, industrial development, trade, access to markets, agriculture and food security, science and technology, the fight against HIV/AIDS, employment, training and the improvement of institutional frameworks for development.

Given this performance rate, experts at the meeting will review the proposed second CIP covering the period of 2013-2015 and make recommendations for the mobilisation of resources for its implementation.
