The Executive Committee agreed that,
given the opportunities provided through the regional networks, other regional
and national training workshops, the process of country programme preparation
and institutional strengthening activities, there should normally not be a need
for regional workshops specifically on data collection and reporting. It
further agreed that, on the understanding that there were no financial
implications for the Fund in such a project, UNEP should be invited to proceed
with the preparation of a manual on data collection.
