Review of Agreement – 2007

As required by the Ouagadougou Political Agreement, the Evaluation and Monitoring Committee, comprised of three representatives from both sides, was established. The chair of the Evaluation and Monitoring Committee was the representative from the facilitators. This committee was mandated to assess and make recommendations on the implementation of the accord.

The Evaluation and Monitoring Committee met for the first time on 11 May 2007 on issues related to the disarmament of militias and former combatants, the reestablishment of state institutions throughout the country, and the census. The committee had its second meeting on 4 September, where it recommended that parties create a timeline for the implementation of the accord.¹ The committee also recommended that the French company, SAGEM, handle the technical operation for the production of the documents for population identification. The parties endorsed this recommendation in a supplementary agreement on 9 November 2007.²
