The Strategic Plan emerges from the Review of the Programme held during August 2009 and the SC meeting held in Paris, September 2009, together with later work and consultation between the Sponsors, the Secretariat, and key partners. At the meetings in Paris, the SC drafted a new mission and core objectives for CROP. The Strategic Plan aims to set in motion some of the central objectives stated there.
