The PSC meeting took place on the 27th and the 28th of April 2016 and had the following objectives:

  • To discuss final implementation progress and sustainability of the programme until the next phase;
  • To discuss outcomes and best practises and agree on a common position to integrate the study (Work Order 78) on the implementation outcomes to showcase the outputs achieved and the added value of the programme;
  • To identify priority actions and plans for the second phase of the programme.

The regional partners delivered presentations on: success stories and major achievements of the programme in their respective regions; challenges and the way to overcome them; relationship with other regional organisations (organisations and activities) and with the ACP Secretariat; priority actions for the second phase.

The main recommendations from the fifth PSC meeting are:

  • The ACP Secretariat to update the Regional Partners on the status of the next phase of the programme. The PSC mandated the ACP Secretariat to keep Regional Partners informed of any developments in this regard.
  • The ACP Secretariat has committed to collaborate with DG DEVCO to bring forward the regional priority actions for the next phase.
  • The PSC decided that the lessons learnt and the success stories from the first phase will serve as basis for the next phase of the Programme.
  • The PSC decided that the challenges and constraints presented by the Regional partners be included as part of the Programme identification efforts that are on-going in preparation for the second phase of the Programme
  • The PSC decided to proceed to a no-cost extension for the Pacific Component until December 2016.
  • The PSC decided to collaborate with the IOC to share experiences and lessons learnt. The ACP Secretariat is already working with the IOC for the development of an action plan to implement the IOC climate change regional strategy.
  • The PSC agreed that Regional Partners will continue working together, further strengthening the intra and inter ACP sharing of best practices, synergies and coordination.
  • The PSC decided to finalise the ACP SIDS Action Plan after the PSC meeting
