The
Executive Committee recommended extension of institutional strengthening
activities that have been completed for an interim period of six months pro
rata on the basis of the first three-year allocation on the understanding
that guidelines for second round institutional strengthening should be
developed by the Fund Secretariat, and an evaluation and monitoring exercise
would be carried out by the Implementing Agencies during the period and that,
if necessary, the extensions could be renewed for a further six months pending
completion of a full evaluation.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/17/60,
Decision 17/16 para. 25).
The
Nineteenth Meeting of the Executive Committee decided:
(a) in the case of countries requesting
institutional-strengthening projects for the first time, approval would be for
three years;
(b) initial renewals would be at the same level of
funding as the first approval; would be for two years; and would be conditional
upon a report of progress and an articulated plan of future actions, this
report to be submitted six months before the end of the three-year approval
period; and
(c) any subsequent renewal would also be for two
years; and would also be conditional upon a report of progress and an
articulated plan of future actions.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/19/64,
Decision 19/29, para. 54).
The
Twenty-fourth Meeting of the Executive Committee decided:
(a) that some flexibility should be shown in how
countries used the funds approved under projects for renewal of institutional
strengthening and that, while slight variations in funds transferred between
budget lines could be accepted, overall accountability was essential;
(b) that, while a full copy of a progress report
submitted under an institutional strengthening renewal should be made available
to those members of the Executive Committee that requested one, provision of a
summary in documentation for the meeting would suffice.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/24/47,
Decision 24/23, para. 46).
The
Twenty-fourth Meeting of the Executive Committee also decided to request the
Implementing Agencies, when submitting requests for institutional strengthening
renewal projects, to provide the very latest information available when
preparing the summary of the project and country profile.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/24/47,
Decision 24/32, para. 56).
