IPMG Technical Secretariat

The Technical Secretariat as support mechanism for the work of the IPMG

Given the scope and scale of activities and events relating to the 2030 Agenda, a technical secretariat has been set-up to provide support to the IPMG members, members of the GCC and regional focal organizations, and to the co-organizers/ partners of the IPMG as the Global Coordinating Committee of the IPMG.

The Technical Secretariat is under the IPMG Organizing Partners (Tebtebba and IITC), and  supervised by the designated focal persons of  these organizations as their facilitators/convenors of the IPMG.

The IPMG Organizing Partners are responsible in generating resources to support the Technical Secretariat. The members of the Technical Secretariat shall are considered as part-time and are guided by a clear Terms of Reference. 

Members of the Technical Secretariat can also be designated as focal persons of regional facilitating organizations as appropriate.

 

The Technical Secretariat has the following functions and tasks:

  1. Ensure the dissemination of relevant information to the Regional Focal Organizations (RFOs) and affiliate members of the IPMG.
  2. Maintain a website for the IPMG (www.indigenouspeoples-sdg.org) and other social media/communication channels for the IPMG, and manage the IPMG sub-page of the www.sustainabledeveloment.org website (Sustainable Development Knowledge Platform).
  3. Assist in the coordination and provision of technical and logistical support for the participation and effective engagement of indigenous peoples’ representatives in the HLPF, STI Forum and relevant meetings.
