RAMSAR CONVENTION ON WETLANDS
57th Meeting of the Standing Committee
Gland, Switzerland, 24 – 28 June 2019
SC57 Doc.16
Workplan of the Secretariat for 2019-2021
Actions requested:
The Standing Committee is invited to take note of and approve the Secretariat’s integrated Annual
Plan for 2019 and Triennial Plan for 2019-2021 (Annex 1), which reflects the structure and format
adopted in Decision SC54-10.
1. The Annual Plan for 2019 and Triennial Plan for 2019-2021 attached in Annex 1 reflects the
efforts of the Secretariat during the last two years to integrate and streamline triennial and
annual work plans, as well as the CEPA Action Plan, into one framework, as approved by the
Standing Committee in Decision SC53-07. It is based in the revised structure proposed by the
Secretariat and approved by the Standing Committee in Decision SC54-10.
2. The new structure is better adapted to the Secretariat’s requirements and reflects its learning
from implementation of the triennial plan for 2016-2018. It represents a better framework to
track the Secretariat’s core functions and commitments, and on ensuring the delivery of
requests received from Contracting Parties. The new framework of the Annual and Triennial
Plan is structured around the seven core functions of the Secretariat, aligning with its
organizational structure, and clarifying accountability and responsibility for achieving outcomes
and impact. The functions under which the Secretariat’s work is grouped are as follows: 1.
Governing and subsidiary bodies and meeting services; 2. Administration, human and financial
resources; 3. Implementation support; 4. Scientific and technical services; 5. Representation,
policy, engagement and international cooperation; 6. Resource mobilization; and 7. Outreach
and strategic engagement.
3. The Annual and Triennial Plan is the result of a participative process that brought together all
staff members of the Secretariat of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands from 22 to 24 January
2019. The process fulfilled the Secretariat’s commitment for a formal year-end review to assess
the work of the annual plan for 2018, identify any gaps in implementation and learn lessons
that could help improve its work in the following year. It equally included a comprehensive
review of the Resolutions adopted by the 13th meeting of the Conference of the Contracting
Parties (COP13) and decisions from the 53rd to the 56th meetings of the Standing Committee
(SC53 to SC56) carried by the Secretariat ensuring their integration into the Triennial Plan 2019
– 2021. The development of the plan took into account comments received in SC54 including
the ambition for a clear, accessible and focused plan, links to SDG6 and other global indicators
and greater focus on defining time-bound activities with clear descriptions of their completion.
4. The Annual Plan for 2019 and Triennial Plan for 2019-2021 reflects the request made in
Resolution XIII.7 on Enhancing the Convention’s visibility and synergies with other multilateral
environmental agreements and other international institutions to foster and enhance cross-cutting subject-matter expertise within the Secretariat team as a means to maximize use of
existing resources and avoid duplication of efforts, foster a whole-of-Secretariat approach to
providing equitable and consistent support to Parties’ efforts to implement the Convention, and
advance synergies and contributions across the Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs)
and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In adopting a structure based on functions,
the Secretariat has considerably streamlined the Annual and Triennial Plan, reinforced
collaboration across the Secretariat’s functions to deliver specific outcomes, while clarifying
leads and accountability and responsibility for each activity. The reference to specific requests
from Contracting Parties and the identification of indicators should also increase the usefulness
of the Plan as a tool to track progress and enhance accountability. Annual performance plans of
staff have been aligned to the Annual Plan for 2019.
