Orgnizational Structure


Colombo Declaration and Articles of Association of SACEP are the legal basis for SACEP. The principle organs of the governance structure (organization structure) of SACEP are the Governing Council (GC), Consultative Committee (CC), National Focal Points (NFP), Subject Area Focal Points and the SACEP Secretariat

1. The Governing Council (GC)

The governing council (GC) is the principal deliberative and review body responsible for determining policies, strategies and programmes. It is represented at the ministerial level and periodically meets to take decisions of strategic significance. Since becoming a legal entity in 1982, SACEP held thirteen regular GC meetings and three special sessions

2. The Consultative Committee (CC)

The consultative committee is responsible for facilitating implementation of policies, strategies and progammes determined by the governing council and consists of representatives of diplomatic missions of member countries residing in Colombo . The CC is also expected to provide guidance to the secretariat in the planning, implementation and monitoring of programmes and projects. The consultative committee meets regularly to provides guidance to the SACEP secretariat in its activities

3. National Focal Points (NFP)

It is the responsibility of each member state to designate a national focal point to facilitate the work of the secretariat and to function as the main communication link with the member states and with the secretariat. National focal points are expected to work towards the implementation of the national programmes and co-operate with the secretariat in programme planning and implementation. The national focal points are deemed to be liaison points in their countries for all matters related to SACEP including their own

At an official level, secretaries of the ministries of environment are the designated national focal points of SACEP in the member countries. For operational needs, an official(s) of appropriate level are designated as the liaison officer to assist the secretaries in the discharge of the work related to SACEP
