UN Women and Oxfam - on behalf of the GRG - facilitated a two day Expert’s Group Meeting this week to discuss the updating of the IASC Gender Handbook, as per the GRG’s 2015 AWP.

We would like to brief the GRG on the findings of the EGM and outline the next steps – including the creation of a GRG Steering Committee to help facilitate the process.

In addition, we need to discuss the election of new co-chairs and activating the membership structure (Core and Associate), as described in the 2016-2017 TORs (attached).

The agenda will be:
· Briefing on IASC Gender Handbook Expert Group Meeting
· Election of co-chairs and membership structure
· AOB
