Objectives
1. To assess overall governance of the UCS.
2. To assess the roles of the governing committees and subcommittees in
steering and implementing the UCS.
3. To assess the power structures, interactions, interests and conflicts of interest
among policy actors (ex-officio representatives, non-government and civil
society organizations, technical experts and private-sector representatives)
in various committees and subcommittees and at different levels of
government, and their influences over two tracer policy decisions: strategic
purchasing and scheme harmonization.
4. To use case studies to demonstrate the effect of different governance
patterns (both successes and pitfalls) during a decade of UCS implementation.
Conceptual framework
As described in Chapter 7 of the synthesis report, the UNESCAP governance
model1 was adopted in this part of the assessment.
