Who are the members of the GCE?

The GCE is made up of professionals with experience in environmental and social protection; conflict resolution; human rights; accountability and compliance; governance; development finance. The second generation of the GCE started in 2022 and includes six experts from across Latin America and the Caribbean. This second generation of the CGE replaces the group of eight professionals from different fields and with diverse backgrounds that formed the first CGE between 2017 and 2019. 

 

All members work on a pro bono basis and provide non-binding advice.

 

How does the GCE work?

  • MICI organizes two GCE meetings per year.
  • Meetings include the regular participation of the MICI Director and the coordinators of the Consultation and Compliance Review Phases. Additional MICI staff will participate as necessary.
  • MICI chairs the GCE meeting and drafts a summary note which includes the main issues discussed and agreements reached. The draft summary note is shared with members for their comments.
  • The agenda and summary records are published on the MICI website. The most recent versions of the documents are available below.
  • MICI is responsible for the implementation of the actions agreed upon during the meetings, and the GCE is informed of the progress.
  • The GCE meetings adhere to the Chatham House rule, according to which individual attributions are not made.
