The Twenty-fifth Meeting of the Executive Committee decided to request the Secretariat, in collaboration with the Implementing Agencies:
(a) to make proposals on the appropriate indicators for the evaluation of business plan performance;
(b) to consider how to give different weighting to indicators;
(c) to take into account the importance of the indicators relating to ODP reduction, speed of delivery and distribution of projects among countries when making proposals;
(d) to consider the need to revise the cost of project preparation and cost-effectiveness performance indicators;
(e) to apply any new or weighted indicators to evaluation of 1998 business plans.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/25/68, Decision 25/5, para. 27).
The Twenty-sixth Meeting of the Executive Committee decided to maintain two sets of indicators for investment projects, as follows:
(a) the first to track various aspects of the work of agencies, including the previous indicators and a new indicator covering the net emission/reduction of ODP resulting from implementation delays/early completion (expressed in ODP tonnes);
(b) the second set to be weighted indicators, to guide the allocation of agencies’ shares. The indicators would assess performance in relation to what had been planned and would be weighted on a pro rata basis as shown in the following table:
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/26/70, Decision 26/4, para. 19).
For non-investment projects, the Executive Committee decided to maintain two sets of indicators, as follows:
(a) the first set to track the results associated with non-investment projects for all Implementing Agencies. The first set would consist of four indicators which would assess performance in relation to what had been planned and would be weighted on a pro rata basis as shown in the following table:
(b) the second set would be non-weighted, as follows:
(i) appropriate and timely policies initiated by countries either as a result of networking, training, information exchange, country programme development and/or institutional strengthening;
(ii) reduction in ODS consumption over and above that effected by investment projects.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/26/70, Decision 26/5, para. 20).
The Twenty-sixth Meeting of the Executive Committee requested UNEP, in view of its specific mandate, to continue the monitoring of its activities according to the set of nine indicators set out in its business plan.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/26/70, Decision 26/6, para. 21).
The Thirty-fifth Meeting of the Executive Committee decided:
(a) to take note of the report contained in document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/35/16;
(b) to request all Implementing Agencies, when finalising their 2002 business plans, to apply the Secretariat’s advice contained in document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/35/16 relating to the identification of targets for the non-weighted, non-investment project indicators: (1) appropriate and timely policies initiated by countries either as a result of networking, training, information exchange, country programme development and/or institutional strengthening; and (2) the reduction in ODS consumption over and above that effected by investment projects;
(c) to consider revising those indicators unique to UNEP’s specific mandate (Decision 26/6) on the basis of the outputs identified by UNEP in Annex 1 to its draft 2002 business plan (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/35/8 and Add.1) for the Compliance Assistance Programme (CAP) and to request UNEP to work with the Secretariat in revising Annex I;
(d) to request all Implementing Agencies to include a target for the performance indicator “timely submission of progress reports” in their final 2002 business plans;
(e) also to request all Implementing Agencies to include a new non-weighted, investment project performance indicator for project completion pursuant to Decision 28/2 by setting a target for the number of investment projects to be completed in the year of the business plan;
(f) further to request Implementing Agencies to consider revising their targets for their 2002 business plan cost-effectiveness performance indicators in the light of the fact that, historically, cost-effectiveness values achieved by projects had been lower than those targeted by the agencies.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/35/67, Decision 35/14, para. 43).
(Supporting document: UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/35/16).
The Thirty-sixth Meeting of the Executive Committee decided to request the Sub-Committee on Monitoring, Evaluation and Finance to consider the possibility of a new performance indicator for the timely financial completion of projects at its 17th Meeting.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/36/36, Decision 36/4, para. 37(d)).
The Thirty-eighth Meeting of the Executive Committee decided:
(a) to request the Secretariat in co-operation with the Implementing Agencies and Article 5 countries to prepare a set of performance indicators for the compliance period in the light of the three-year phase-out plan and taking into consideration the discussion during the meeting on performance indicators;
(b) to invite Parties which had views on the topic to submit them to the Secretariat within four weeks of the end of the 38th Meeting.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/38/70/Rev.1, Decision 38/69, para. 123).
