16th session of the High-Level Committee on Programmes (HLCP)
The HLCP was established by the United Nations System Chief Executives Board for Coordination (CEB) in 2000. It is the principal mechanism for system-wide coordination in the programme area. In addition to providing the forum for inter-agency dialogue in the development and launching of new programme initiatives, HLCP advises CEB on issues of strategic planning, policy and programme development and implementation, and on other areas that require priority attention in response to the challenges facing the UN system and the global community. The Committee is responsible for facilitating discussions on the implications of the reform process within the system and identifying best practices.
HLCP holds its regular sessions in the spring and fall of each year, and undertakes consultations and coordination on a continuing basis.
