This report is intended to inform the Board on progress from mandates given to the Secretariat in the period from the first meeting of the Board, August 2012 to the twelfth meeting of the Board, March 2016, excluding those mandates on which the Secretariat is reporting, or has previously reported, progress made to the Board in individual agenda items or reports. This report is not, however, an exhaustive reflection of all the Secretariat’s activities.
