The Executive Committee requested Article 5 Parties and the Implementing Agencies collaborating with them in preparing projects on institutional strengthening, to make provisions to address the needs of the country with respect to the data submission requirements of Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/10/40, para. 134).
Requests from Article 5 countries for institutional strengthening support should be decided on their individual merits (case-by-case basis). In considering the requests on a case-by-case basis, the peculiar circumstances influencing ODS phase-out in the country should be considered together with the recommended funding level. Institutional strengthening should be considered with the necessary flexibility and comments made by the members should be taken into account.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/7/30, para. 74.1, 75).
(Supporting document: UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/7/20).
The Forty-second Meeting of the Executive Committee decided to urge implementing and bilateral agencies to provide all assistance possible to countries for which they were implementing institutional strengthening projects in order to eliminate instances of non reporting of data.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/42/54, Decision 42/17, para. 78).
