In
order to standardize the content of all country programmes, the Executive
Committee approved a document on procedures for presentation of country
programmes and project proposals prepared by the Fund Secretariat as appears in
Annex VIII.1).
The
country programme is expected to contain, inter alia:
(a) a review of recent production, imports,
applications and use of controlled substances by the main producers, users, and
consumers, and links to transnational producers or users (if information is available);
(b) a description of the institutional framework
governing controlled substances (government agencies, NGO's, consumer groups,
industry associations);
(c) a description of policy framework, regulatory
and incentive systems;
(d) a description of government and industry
activities in response to the Protocol;
(e) a statement of strategy for implementation of
the Protocol, indicating the respective roles of government, multilateral and
bilateral agencies;
(f) an action plan encompassing investment and
technical assistance projects, pre-investment studies, and any policy analysis
required;
(g) a timetable for each activity and for action
plan review; and
(h) a budget and financing programme.
The
document has to be submitted with an official letter of transmittal and should
also include an executive summary, a country programme evaluation criteria, and
a country programme cover sheet.
