As indicated on page 7 under the heading “Requests for our Services”, the CICS does not convene intergovernmental meetings. It is called upon to respond to decisions taken by governments to meet on key national or specific issues. Decisions concerning the location of such meeting, their number in a given fiscal year, their timing and duration, are all factors, beyond the control of the Secretariat. The level of CICS expenditures for each fiscal year is, however, directly affected by these factors.

Over the next three years, the Secretariat projects serving approximately 110 to 120 conferences per year.

As for measuring success or failure, in achieving our strategic outcome, the following performance indicators will be used to report on expected resources:

  • Number of conferences served
  • Letters of appreciations and or complaints
  • Number of conferences refused/Ability to meet demand of our clients
  • Number of conferences served by non-conference sector personnel
