Pillar/Sector Working Groups

In order to facilitate the implementation process, Pillar Working Groups have been established. These groups meet regularly to discuss issues relating to the various sectors and thematic areas within their specific pillars. The findings and recommendations from the Pillar Working Groups form the basis for discussions at the quarterly DEPAC meetings. The composition of the pillar/sector working groups is based on sectoral ministries and the development partners that fund the programmes within the sectors.
