H. Implementation and review procedures

18.

Implementation of the Comprehensive Plan of Action is a dynamic process that will require continued co-ordination and possible adaptation to respond to changing situations. In order to ensure effective implementation of the Plan, the following mechanisms shall be established:

(a) UNHCR, with the financial support of the donor community, will be in charge of continuing liaison and co-ordination with concerned Governments and intergovenmental as well as non-governmental organizations to implement the Comprehensive Plan of Action.

(b) A Steering Committee based in South-East Asia will be established. It will consist of representatives of all Governments making specific commitments under the Comprehensive Plan of Action. The Steering Committee will meet periodically under the chairmanship of UNHCR to discuss implementation of the Comprehensive Plan of Action. The Steering Committee may establish sub-committees as necessary to deal with specific aspects of the implementation of the Plan, particularly with regard to status determination, return and resettlement.

(c) A regular review arrangement will be devised by UNHCR, preferably in conjunction with the annual Executive Committee session, to assess progress in implementation of the Comprehensive Plan of Action and consider additional measures to improve the Plan's effectiveness in meeting its objectives.
