enhance their readability and user-friendliness. As part of this review, the secretariat

has prepared a brief questionnaire, which is distributed with today’s Daily Programme,

to gather the views of the readers of the documents. We believe that these insights will

gender balance among its staff. To this end, it would like to especially encourage

qualified women candidates and candidates from developing countries to apply for
