With the appointment of a permanent Executive Director for the ICD in August 2009, and restructuring of the ICD to carry out its mandate more effectively, it has been decided that the communications function within the ICD will relocate to the office of the Executive Director. This will also assist in formalising and streamlining communication between the ICD and the Secretariat. In addition, Programme 3: Information and Management and Research will be integrated into Programme 2: Complaints Processing, Monitoring and Investigation, and Legal Services will become a fully-fledged third programme.
