The Twenty-eighth Meeting of the Executive Committee also decided to encourage co-operation between international Implementing Agencies and the national governments in Article 5 countries to develop umbrella projects and sector approaches. The responsibilities of the international Implementing Agencies would focus on consulting, monitoring and auditing project implementation by domestic Implementing Agencies.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/28/57, Decision 28/9, para. 23).
The Thirtieth Meeting of the Executive Committee decided to approve the funding for additional individual project preparation activities in countries which were preparing sector plans for terminal phase-out, on the understanding that:
(a) it was clear that the sectoral strategy in preparation was unlikely to be submitted to the Executive Committee for approval for at least six months;
(b) the country concerned had stated in a letter its intention to adhere to a sectoral strategy; and
(c) the Implementing Agency provided an assurance in the request for funding that the project could be adjusted, as appropriate, and incorporated into the sectoral strategy.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/30/41, Decision 30/21, para. 44).
The Thirty-eighth Meeting of the Executive Committee decided to note the essential need for the Implementing Agencies to work together, wherever possible, and select lead agencies to consolidate activities included in individual phase-out plans.
