Ad Hoc Advisory Group on Guinea-Bissau

Calls on all participants at the meeting of partners of Guinea-Bissau to ensure the implementation of its conclusions and to identify lead donors for various sectors in an effort to coordinate assistance; calls on the UN system, in collaboration with the Bretton Woods institutions and other multilateral and bilateral donors, to assist Guinea-Bissau in designing and implementing a comprehensive technical assistance plan that focuses on national priority areas; notes that post-conflict recovery, reconstruction and rehabilitation are among the subjects being discussed in ongoing talks on UN reform; recognizes the importance of avoiding overlap and duplication with respect to existing mechanisms; decides to extend the mandate of the Ad Hoc Advisory Group until the substantive session of 2006, with the understanding that the decision on whether to renew its mandate will be based on the Council's consideration of the report of the Ad Hoc Advisory Group on Guinea-Bissau, which should be submitted no later than six weeks before the start of the 2006 substantive session, and the situation prevailing in Guinea-Bissau at that time.
