New Criteria for CTI-CFF Development Partners

The CTI-CFF made critical progress to enable new partners to join the CTI-CFF with the development of criteria and application and review process. The new criteria was approved at the 4th CTI-CFF Ministerial Meeting held in Putrajaya, Malaysia on November 26, 2012.

“Partners” remain a select group of strategic supporters as outlined by the CTI Rules and Regulations. Other supporters are involved as a part of a “CTI Stakeholder Group” who share information on their activities, receive information on CTI plans and activities, invited to meetings on a case-by-case basis (not automatically).  The process for becoming a CTI Partner involves an application to the Secretariat, which then facilitates the CTI Council of Ministers.

The criteria for becoming a CTI Partner includes:

•    Demonstrate commitment, and capability and integrity to be a major supporter over a sustained period of time for the implementation of CTI RPOA and NPOAs.
•    A commitment to work with the Regional Secretariat, NCCs and other Partners in planning and providing support towards achieving the shared vision of the CTI-CFF.
•    A commitment to work with the CT6 and other Partners to help to successfully develop the CTI-CFF as a regional forum, and to help plan, coordinate and mobilize efforts to achieve successful implementation of the CTI-CFF RPOA and NPOAs.
