Requests
for institutional strengthening should be considered as special projects
subject to approval by the Executive Committee on the basis of a written
request submitted by the interested Party. However, in order to avoid any
possible delays in providing support to requesting countries, the Implementing
Agencies may review and implement such requests within their work programmes,
except where the funding requested exceeds US $500,000, and report to the
Executive Committee through the Fund Secretariat as and when such requests are
approved for implementation.

Requests
for institutional strengthening should be included in the country programme of
the Party requesting such assistance. However, the requests for institutional
support may be submitted separately as a free-standing project ahead of the
country programme where circumstances demand.

The
Twentieth Meeting of the Executive Committee decided:
(a) to request Implementing Agencies, when
preparing institutional-strengthening projects for low-volume ODS consuming
countries, to give due consideration to the need for formulating a refrigerant
management plan, including a recovery and recycling project in the
refrigeration sector;
(b) that, while the Implementing Agencies could
proceed immediately with the disbursement of the first one-year tranche of the
funds approved for institutional strengthening in low-volume ODS consuming
countries, subsequent disbursements would be contingent on the submission of a
report to the Executive Committee on the status of development of a refrigerant
management plan, including a recovery and recycling project, for the country
concerned.
