    Transitional Working Group meetings and Consultations

    In July 2001, a Transitional Working Group (TWG) for the Fund was established, consisting of nearly 40 representatives of developing countries, donor countries, NGOs, the private sector, and the UN system.

    During the second half of the year, the TWG developed basic guidelines for the Fund's operation, including its legal status, management structure, financial systems and general eligibility criteria.

    The TWG met three times - in October, November, and December 2001. In addition, the TWG held regional consultations in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe, as well as thematic consultations with NGOs/civil society, the private sector, and academia.

    In late 2001, members of each of the Fund's constituencies - including donor countries, developing countries, NGOs, and the private sector - selected representatives for the Fund's Board. At its first meeting in January 2002, the Board reviewed the TWG's recommendations and adopted a framework document that made the Fund officially operational.
