Fourth Meeting of the Working Group on Human Resource Development
Meeting Objectives/ Annotated Program
The captioned meeting/ workshop aims to gather consensus on a proposed strategic framework plan for HRD cooperation under the GMS Program, which will be used as the basis for firming up the HRD program in the education, health and labor sectors, and for prioritizing projects in support of the program.
The Meeting will discuss the latest version of the Development Matrix on the HRD flagship program included in the GMS Strategic Framework (GMS-SF), entitled "Developing Human Resources and Skills Competencies." The GMS-SF was endorsed during the 10th GMS Ministerial Conference held in Yangon in November 2002. The HRD Development Matrix includes a short analysis of the projects, which comprise the HRD flagship program.
Participants will be requested to present recent policy/ program developments in the health, education and labor market sectors of their respective countries, highlighting the gaps in their development programs that could best be addressed by regional cooperation. The presentations shall be 20-25 minutes per country covering the sectors mentioned.
After the presentations, there will be breakout sessions which will group the participants according to sector focus. There will therefore be three groups, one each for the health, education and labor sectors. The findings/ recommendations of these breakout sessions will be presented in plenary, which will also lead to finalization/ adoption of the framework for HRD cooperation under the GMS Program. The framework will guide in formulating the HRD pipeline for at least the next three years.
Participants to the workshop are representatives of each of the six GMS countries, one each in the fields of health, education, and labor, as well as representatives of other aid agencies.
