The Senior Officials' Meeting requested ADB as CAREC Secretariat to conduct an assessment of CAREC Institute for implementing the Strategic Knowledge Framework, and that the assessment should include recommendations on the physical versus virtual modality, including possible establishment of a network of resource and training centers; associated governance structure; and estimated cost and funding sources. The assessment was submitted to the 11th Ministerial Conference held in November 2012.
