This paper provides a summary of the May Board Meetings held in Seoul, Korea. The decisions are based on strengthening the Global Partnership's Operational Platform ("Workstream 1") and 2016-2020 Strategic Plan Concept Note ("Workstream 2") papers presented to the Board of Directors.

Two Board reference groups were created to finalize the Strategic Plan Concept Note and to prepare an analysis of the functions, roles and accountabilities needed for the preparation, management and administration of GPE grants.
