support the development and updating of sector strategies
within the framework of national plans and budgets;
·
coordinate and harmonize donor assistance and identifying
PA priorities and the readiness/availability of the donor community to fund
related programmes;

achievements, donor funding and gaps;
Membership in the group is limited to relevant donors, civil society and
