The ABCDE Steering Committee gathers a group of representatives from the World Bank (including the Chief Economist), the host institution (Ministry of Finance of Japan) and the academic community. The Steering Committee is responsible of drafting the agenda of the conference based on advice and input received from the ABCDE 2006 Advisory Committee.
More specifically, the Steering Committee is responsible for:
- Deciding on names for plenary session and keynote speakers;
- Deciding on topics for the program of parallel sessions (workshops, roundtable, etc.) and eventually organize one of these sessions;
- Deciding on side events, communication/outreach plan and media strategy.
During the period of preparation of the conference (from September to May) the Steering Committee meets normally on monthly basis to review and discuss proposals for speakers and topics put forward by the Advisory Committee and external partners. Meetings normally take place via videconference using the World Bank's videconference network.
