1999
business plans of UNDP, UNEP,
UNIDO and the World Bank
The Twenty-seventh Meeting of the Executive
Committee decided:
(a) to endorse UNDP’s 1999 business
plan, while noting that endorsement did not denote approval of the projects
identified therein nor their funding levels;
(b) to note that, at the Sub-Committee’s meeting,
UNDP had revised its investment project targets for ODP
phase-out from 3,800 to 6,000 ODP tonnes and for
disbursement from US $36,160,000 to US $40,160,000.
It had also revised its non-investment project targets for appropriate and
timely policies indicated by countries as a result of networking, training,
information exchange, country programme development
and/or institutional strengthening to four countries and for a reduction
in ODS consumption over and above that effected by investment
projects to 20 ODP tonnes;
(c) to approve the performance
indicators for UNDP presented in tables below;
(d) to set a target of 2.7 per cent of 1999 investment
project submissions for the cost of project preparation on the understanding
that the issue of project preparation costs could be discussed at the next
meeting of the Sub-Committee.
