As previously reported, the World Bank's Global Office, in consultation with the Regional Implementation Offices, decided to postpone to 2021 the reference year of the next ICP cycle, as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The meeting will focus on reviewing the work strategy for the fulfillment of this program, the dissemination of operational materials and the schedule of activities for 2020-2023.
