AUICK Committee Meeting
Annual Meeting on 1-2 November, 2008 The IAC held its annual meeting in Kobe from 1 to 2 November 2008. The members reviewed AUICK’s activities during 2008 and discussed the annual work plan for the year of 2009. The following suggestions were made toward the continued improvement of the AUICK Program implementation: - AUICK Management Information system (MIS) projects should work with data currently available at the relevant AUICK Associate City (AAC), as well as to standardize and validate the data, making the data analysis useful to each city. - To further link the AUICK Program with UNFPA country programs, AUICK should continue to inform country offices on its activities, both on a regular basis and through monitoring visits to AACs, as well as to facilitate UNFPA participation in its workshop program. AAC monitoring visits should also include visits to the relevant UNFPA regional and country offices. - A critical mass of ideas should be promoted through the alumni of the AUICK workshop program and their respective workshop Action Plans. Specifically, attempts should be made to get the Action Plans accepted by the mayors of AACs, and made an integral part of city planning. - AUICK’s long term vision has always been that each AAC will ultimately be a leader in spreading the AUICK idea to other cities in each AAC country. The IAC will search for ways to promote this in the relevant countries. - AUICK has promoted and directly undertaken specific research projects in the past, with notable publications. IAC members will individually consider what research topics might be especially appropriate for AUICK, and will also explore how to formulate such projects and search for funding for them.
