The Thirty-second Meeting of the Executive Committee decided:
(a) to note, with appreciation, the cancellation report of the Government of Australia and decide that project cancellation reports should be submitted for all projects that had incurred disbursements;
(h) to agree that projects that have experienced some progress and are recommended for continued monitoring should include:
(i) those institutional strengthening projects which have not moved from one milestone to another, the delay in which has not been clearly removed, or which have additional implementation delays;
(ii) those other projects approved within the last three years which have not moved from one milestone to another, the delay in which has not been clearly removed, or which have additional implementation delays, and which, despite additional actions taken by the agency, government or beneficiary, still experience implementation delays;
(i) to agree that projects which should be considered for cancellation in accordance with the Executive Committee’s project cancellation guidelines (Decision 26/2) should include:
(i) projects which have made no progress;
(ii) projects approved more than three years previously which have not moved from one milestone to another, the delay in which has not been clearly removed, or which have additional implementation delays, and which, despite additional actions taken by the agency, government or beneficiary, still experience implementation delays.

(a) to confirm that the Secretariat's interpretation of progress reflected the understanding of the Executive Committee;
