In addition, Parties were invited to self-assess implementation of the current Strategic Plan 2015-2020 (ECE/MP.PP/2014/2/Add.1, see in En Fr Ru) by completing a survey till the same deadline. The responses received from this survey were taken into account, as appropriate, when preparing the revised draft Strategic Plan for 2022-2030.

As a result of the above consultations, the note on self-assessment (AC/WGP-24/Inf.8) and the revised draft Strategic Plan (ECE/MP.PP/WG.1/2020/11) were prepared and submitted to the twenty-fourth meeting of the Working Group of the Parties (Geneva, 1-3 July and 28-29 October 2020). Comments on the draft revised Strategic Plan submitted at and after that meeting along with these documents were made available on the meeting’s webpage. The Working Group of the Parties considered the documents and requested the Bureau to prepare a draft decision on the future Strategic plan based on the Draft Strategic Plan for 2022–2030 (ECE/MP.PP/WG.1/2020/11), revising it in the light of the comments received for its submission to the twenty-fifth meeting of the Working Group for consideration and approval and subsequent submission to the Meeting of the Parties for consideration. The Working Group agreed that draft decision will be circulated to Parties and stakeholders for comments prior to its finalization for the twenty-fifth meeting of the Working Group.

Pursuant to this decision, Parties, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the general public and other interested stakeholders were invited to review the draft decision prepared by the Bureau - see in word, and to provide the secretariat with their possible comments on the draft.
