The JCMB meetings ensure coherence and coordination of efforts. The JCMB meets annually and on special occasions as required to review progress and address challenges, and is co-chaired by the Afghan Minister of Finance and the Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations for Afghanistan.

The latest JCMB takes place on Wednesday, July 18, at the Presidential Palace in Kabul to prepare for the 2018 Geneva Conference on Afghanistan.
