The Team of Specialists on Public-Private Partnerships operates in accordance with the Guidelines for the Establishment and Functioning of Teams of Specialists within the UNECE (ECE/EX/2).
The Team of Specialists is established for a period of two years with a possibility of extension, if so decided by CECI. The Committee may wish to modify the Terms of Reference as required.
Secretariat support to the Team of Specialists is provided by the UNECE secretariat. The Team of Specialists will develop its plan of work and reports to the annual session of the Committee on its implementation. At the end of the period, for which it has been established, the Team submits a full report on its accomplishments to the Committee.
Expenses associated with the implementation of the Team of Specialists' plan of work are supported through extrabudgetary contributions of Member States and other stakeholders (inter alia, the United Nations Development Account as far as capacity-building is concerned). The funds are to be provided, managed and used in accordance with United Nations rules and regulations.
