EEPP   Program Support Unit 

Functions and Team Building for the PFTC Department, EEAA 

Objectives and Expectations of the Participants 

The facilitator team proposed a set of six learning objectives for the retreat that are listed in 

Attachment 3., PFTC Retreat Objectives.  The primary focus was to generate a common 

understanding about functions and structures for PFTC, including details about the outputs of 

the department and its sub divisions. 

The expectations of the participants are listed in Attachment 4., Expectations for the Retreat 

Listed by the Participants.  What the participants volunteered as their aims agreed with the 

retreat objectives that had been planned.  However, PFTC members added concerns about 

social relations, communication and the integration into the department of the four staff 

members from International Relations.  This unit was added to PFTC a month ago through a 

ministerial order.  The facilitator acknowledged the extra needs of the PFTC group and 

suggested that improved communication and social relations would be a by product of the 

group method used in the retreat. 

PFTC staff said that their first priority was clarity and detail about the roles and 

responsibilities of the department, its sub divisions and the individuals within.  They wanted 

to know the scope of their jobs in planning so that they could better communicate their work 

to other departments in the Agency and work with them more effectively.
