Work
programmes shall be approved by the Executive Committee on an annual basis and
reviewed semi-annually. Approval of work programmes should be based on project
eligibility criteria.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/3/18/Rev.1 Annex III, Section II.2.3).
The
implementation of any aspect of the work programme shall be subject to the
availability of funds. In the event of a shortage of available funds the
Executive Committee shall provide guidance to the Implementing Agencies
concerning priorities for implementation.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/3/18/Rev.1 Annex III, Section II.2.4).
The
Twenty-first Meeting of the Executive Committee decided that, rather than
approving an amount within the work programme for unforeseen requests for
project preparation activities, as provided for in its decision 19/10, it would
consider work programme amendments for such activities submitted by UNDP, UNIDO
and the World Bank in the course of the year (1997).

21/13 (b), paras. 20, 22, 23).
