Multi-Year Project
• APEC attaches great importance to multi-year
projects as it is perceived to be better serve
APEC’s long-term goal• However, the current APEC project selection
and management procedures do not
accommodate multi-year projects, nor do they
include mechanisms to measure the
effectiveness of projects towards meeting
longer-term goals• Therefore, economies are temporary refrained
from submitting multi-year projects’ proposal
