In 2015, the Governing Body welcomed the proposal contained in the documentation as the basis for the further development of a Multi-Year Programme of Work of the International Treaty (MYPOW). Furthermore, by Resolution 13/2015 it requested the Secretary to develop, with inputs from Contracting Parties, a MYPOW for the 2018-2025 period for its consideration at its Seventh Session.
In April 2016, by notification GB7-06 the Secretariat invited Contracting Parties to provide inputs and afterwards it further developed the draft MYPOW to include expected outputs, activities, outcomes, milestones and estimated costs.
Following the guidance provided by the Bureau of the Seventh Session at its second meeting, the Secretariat circulated the draft through notification GB7-22 inviting Contracting Parties to provide further comments and inputs before 10 June 2017 to pgrfa-treaty@fao.org
