In recent years, its role has evolved to include the provision of advice on policy orientation, strategies on technical cooperation at a broader programme level and a global vision of the work of the Fund. In 2013, the Secretary-General entrusted the Board to also serve as a Board of Trustees for the United Nations Voluntary Fund for Financial and Technical Assistance for the Implementation of the Universal Periodic Review. In 2019, the Board was composed of Mr. Morten Kjaerum (Denmark), Ms. Lin Lim (Malaysia), Ms. Esi Sutherland-Addy (Ghana), Ms. Valeriya Lutkovska (Ukraine) and Mr. Santiago Corcuera-Cabezut (Mexico). Mr. Corcuera-Cabezut was nominated in August to replace the seat vacated by Ms. Carmen Rosa Villa (Peru). At its forty-ninth session, in November, the Board elected Ms. Esi SutherlandAddy as Chair. Her mandate will run until 30 November 2021. The Board meets twice a year to review the programmes that the Fund supports and to consider thematic issues, methodologies and procedures; examine financial, administrative and fundraising matters; and brief Member States on its activities. The forty-eighth session of the Board was held in Geneva, in March.
