Although COVID19 has affected the way of working, the High-Level Panel continues to strive towards delivering its mandated report. On 3rd & 4th June the High-Level Panel, along with its Expert Advisory Group and with the support from its Secretariat, met virtually in order to take stock of the work so far including the submissions received from the Stakeholders. The Panel also discussed the different Work Streams and the progress made in this area. They also used the opportunity to deliberate on the way forward including the possible extension of the Panel mandate. Thanks to the technology, while it was a virtual, the meeting was quite productive in addressing pressing issues.
