In pursuance to Decision 5.2 of the IOC Executive Council at its Forty-fifth session (Paris, UNESCO HQ, 26–28 June 2013), the open-ended Intersessional Financial Advisory Group (IFAG) is being re-constituted under the chairship of Vice-chair Peter Haugan with the primary objective of developing the draft IOC Medium-term Strategy (MTS) for 2014–2021 and draft Programme Objectives and outcomes for 2014–2017, which will be considered by the IOC Assembly at its Twenty-seventh session in June 2013. The date of the event only marks the starting point of an ongoing process to develop the draft IOC Medium-Term-Strategy for 2014-2021 until subnission to the IOC Assembly in June 2013. This page acts as a document repository for the members of the Group. The agenda is a combination of the timeline of work and the initial structure of the MTS proposed at the EC in June 2012. The documentation gathers potential contributions to the MTS and can be organized as follows: * Contributions identified by the Executive Council in its dec. 5.2 (June 2012) * Background documents from the UN & Global Partnerships * Background documents proposed by IOC, its programmes and field offices * UNESCO information on the preparation of its MTS * National background documents</b<
The Group is working by electronic correspondence.

- 6. - June 2013: Submission to the IOC Assembly
- 1. - 15 October 2012: The IFAG chair will invite members of the Group to comment on high level structure of the MTS
The following structure is the initial concept the EC at its 45th session (June 2012) took note of. It is based on preliminary exercise reported in document IOC/INF-1280. The EC also recognized the need to take into account the debate at EC-45 (IOC/EC-XLV/3 prov.); the report of the Ad hoc Advisory Group for the IOC Ocean Sciences Section (IOC/INF-1294); Inputs from IOC Subsidiary Bodies and other relevant organizations and processes, in particular the follow-up to Rio+20 (Ocean compact, The future we want); the development of the UNESCO MTS for 2014-2021 (37 C/4); the future of the IOC (IOC/Future-I/3, IOC/WR-50).
