The Thirty-first Meeting of the Executive Committee decided:
(a) to request members of the Executive Committee and Implementing Agencies to communicate to the Secretariat, within 60 days, their views on:
(i) the current indicators for the evaluation of the performance of the Implementing Agencies in achieving the targets in their business plans;
(ii) the possible need for new indicators (for example, on assistance provided by Implementing Agencies to national ozone units and the effective operation of the units) in the light of decisions on strategic planning;
(iii) the need for and possible uses of agency shares, including the removal of fixed shares, special funding windows and over-programming;
(iv) potential consequences for agencies not meeting existing and potential new performance targets;
(b) to request the Secretariat to prepare a report based on the comments received for submission to the Thirty-second meeting;
(c) also to request UNEP to report project implementation status using the indicators required by the decisions of the Executive Committee, bearing in mind that UNEP had not indicated its achievements against its own targets for the following:
(i) policies initiated from non-investment activities;
(ii) reduction in ODP tons from non-investment activities;
(iii) the extent to which the networks were used by the agencies and the Secretariat in developing their work or explaining new policies;
(d) to request the Implementing Agencies to report on all of the indicators required by the decisions of the Executive Committee.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/31/61, Decision 31/11, para. 30).
The Thirty-second Meeting of the Executive Committee decided:
(a) to maintain the current sets of performance indicators, while requesting the Secretariat, in co-operation with the Implementing Agencies and Article 5 countries, to begin to examine and formulate new indicators consistent with the Executive Committee’s efforts to develop a strategic plan which incorporates a country-driven approach, and submit a report to the Executive Committee at a future meeting;
(b) to request the Chief Officer to write to all Governments of Article 5 countries advising them of the results of the evaluations of Implementing Agencies’ 1999 business plans, noting the critical importance of national choices regarding Implementing Agencies in relation to their capacity to meet the imminent initial control measures, and send a copy of the letter to the heads of the Implementing Agencies, so that they might better compare the performance of their agency against that of the others.
