WCD Secretariat
The Commission was supported by a full time secretariat located in Cape Town, South Africa with approximately 10 international professionals and 16 short-term research fellows. For key topics - such as the thematic reviews - on which the Commission wished to break new ground and make major recommendations, task forces and expert panels were formed to serve the Commission as needed. The dissemination phase was co-ordinated by a small contingent of staff from October 2000 to March 2001.
