International Assessment and Review

The review practice guidance (RPG) is a living document that aims to improve consistency among the individual biennial report  and national communication  reviews during a review cycle and across the review cycles.  The RPG  does not aim to cover an exhaustive list of questions or concerns raised by the expert review teams (ERTs) during the reviews, but rather focuses on the difficulties encountered in reviews, as observed by the review coordinators and the ERTs, and on the practices most commonly applied in such cases by the ERTs.
