 Applications are sought to undertake a secondment under the ACAP Secondment Programme for the purpose of building capacity within Parties, and as a means of achieving tasks within the current work programmes of the Advisory Committee (see Annex 4, [MoP7 Report](https://www.acap.aq/documents/meeting-of-the-parties/mop7)) and Secretariat (see Annex 2, [MoP7 Report](https://www.acap.aq/documents/meeting-of-the-parties/mop7)).  Applicants are encouraged to develop proposals that account for any ongoing practical challenges and limitations associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

 Applications will only be accepted from [ACAP Parties](https://www.acap.aq/resources/parties-to-acap).  Applicants are encouraged to contact the [Working Group Convenors](https://www.acap.aq/contactse/working-groups), the [Advisory Committee Chair or Vice-chair](https://www.acap.aq/contactse/advisory-committee-members), or the [Secretariat](mailto:secretariat@acap.aq) to help identify ACAP priority areas for their proposal.  Completed applications are to be submitted to relevant [ACAP National Contact Points](https://www.acap.aq/contactse/acap-national-contacts), who will then forward them to the ACAP Secretariat.
