Abstract
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)—Asia Regional Organization's rapid growth in various countries as well as within the region put pressure on the existing organization structure and its capacity to manage growth in an effective fashion. The Asia Regional Director (ARD) realized that the reorganization of the Region had become imperative in order to manage this rapid growth. She felt the need to seek outside assistance to generate options for the reorganization. Therefore two consultants were hired to analyze the current situation and propose some options. The consultants handed in their proposals in May 2002 for discussion at a meeting in Bangkok. This meeting led to the creation of three Task Forces to tackle the contentious issues surrounding Country Programmes, Regional Thematic Programmes and Corporate Services. ARD told the three Task Forces that she would like to implement the reorganization by December 2002.
