The Secretariat shall:
a) bring the action plans to the attention of all Range States and relevant intergovernmental organizations, invite those Range States that are not yet Parties to ratify or accede to the Convention (or at least support the relevant action plan) and to report on the implementation of these action plans, and monitor the implementation of these action plans, to the extent possible, during the intersessional period up to the 16th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP16);
b) coordinate with the Secretariat of the East Asian-Australasian Flyway Partnership (EAAFP) regarding the implementation of the Action Plans for Baer’s Pochard, the Christmas Island Frigatebird, the Far Eastern Curlew, the Dalmatian Pelican and the White-headed Duck, and with the Secretariat of the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) for the Action Plans of the Dalmatian Pelican and the White-headed Duck, both of which expire in 2027, and in doing so determine the steps towards their evaluation, further extension, revision, update or retirement for decision by COP16.
