The
Executive Committee at its Twenty-first Meeting decided to create a standing
sub-committee entitled the Monitoring, Evaluation and Finance Sub-Committee
which will replace the Sub-Committee on Financial Matters established at the
Ninth Meeting of the Executive Committee.
The
Sub-Committee will be a standing committee. It will be appointed for a period
of one year coinciding with the term of the Chair and Vice-Chair of the
Executive Committee. In accordance with past practice, the Chair of the
Sub-Committee will be determined by the membership and alternate among members
from one Meeting of the Parties to the next.
The
Sub-Committee shall consist of three Executive Committee members form Parties
operating under paragraph 1 of Article 5 of the Protocol and three members from
Parties not so operating, as determined by the respective groups. The Treasurer
and the Secretariat will assist the Sub-Committee in its work and participate
in Sub-Committee meetings. Implementing agencies may be invited to participate.
The Sub-Committee is empowered to require the attendance of any Implementing
Agency on any matter causing concern to the Sub-Committee.
The
Sub-Committee will be a closed Committee. Executive Committee members may be
admitted as observers with the express agreement of the Chairman. With the concurrence
of all members of the Sub-Committee, the Chairman could invite the observers to
speak. Three representatives from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) - one
nominated by environmental NGOs, one by industry NGOs and one by NGOs from the
academic community - may observe the meeting of the Sub-Committee but may not
participate.
The
working language of the meeting of the Sub-Committee will be English.
The
Sub-Committee will address issues concerning monitoring and evaluation of
approved projects, progress reports, business plans, and the business planning
process under the Multilateral Fund. All of the responsibilities of the
Sub-Committee on Financial Matters established at the Ninth Meeting of the
Executive Committee are transferred to the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Finance
Sub-Committee.
