At CPM-7 (2012) the CPM established the Capacity Development Committee (CDC) to provide guidance on IPPC capacity development (CD) activities. It was agreed that after two years the CPM would review the function of the CDC including deciding whether to establish a subsidiary body. The CPM Bureau, at its June 2013 meeting, agreed that the review of the CDC would instead take place at CPM-10 in 2015. This is because in order to arrange a review of the CDC at CPM-9 (2014), the review would have covered only the first year of CDC activities due to the time needed to conduct the review and present it as a CPM paper.
