The Thirty-second Meeting of the Executive Committee decided to approve the revised formats for terminal reports and extension requests relating to institutional strengthening with the following changes:
(a) requiring signatures for those preparing and submitting the reports in both formats;
(b) describing, in both formats, how the action plan for the institutional strengthening project has been integrated in the national authorities’ planning process, in particular the country programme;
(c) including the following question in both formats: “Describe the role and position of the NOU within the national administration, the way its work was supervised and its access to senior decision makers. Give the name and title of the government officer who had the overall responsibility of supervising the work of the NOU and ensured that action taken was adequate to meet the commitments under the Protocol, and include co-operation with steering committees, advisory groups or inter-ministerial bodies as well as the government entities which dealt with import/export licensing and customs”;
(d) adding to the extension request format a description of sources/methods of collecting data on imports, exports and production as well as distribution by sector, and attaching the job description of the head of the National Ozone Unit.
(e) adding in table 9 of the extension request a column specifying work months for planned activities and, in table 12, replacing “Other funds” by “Government funding”.
