The Monitoring Committee (MC) is in charge of supervising the programme. Its overall task is to ensure the quality and effectiveness of the programme's implementation.

Each programme partner country is represented. The following organisations are also participating as observers: representatives from Russia, the Nordic Atlantic Cooperation (NORA), the Arctic Council's Indigenous Peoples' Secretariat and the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency. In addition, the European Commission is an observer in an advisory capacity.

At this meeting the MC reviewed and approved the Annual Implementation Report 2021 and was informed about the next steps and deadlines towards programme closure.

This was the last in-person meeting of the NPA 2014-2020 Monitoring Committee.
