INTRODUCTION
The
Executive Committee decided that project proposals should include a standardized
component on monitoring and evaluation, and should provide sufficient
information to enable a comparison between the project proposal approved by the
Executive Committee and the project completion report, as indicated by its
decision 22/19(a) regarding the 1998 work programme of monitoring and
evaluation. One of the deliverables of the work programme pertains to forms of
presentation, categories of baseline data, a schedule of monitoring and
evaluation with dates for completion and major milestones for monitoring
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/22/79/Rev.1, Annex III).
The
Implementing Agencies have included information on baseline data in project
proposals submitted by them to the Executive Committee according to the
established format (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/7/30, Annex III). Such data pertain to:
project objectives; sector consumption; project phase-out; proposed budget and
cost item’s rationale; schedule for implementation and disbursement; a copy of
all agreements; and, a copy of the technical review per the guidelines adopted
by the Twelfth Meeting.
Baseline data
The
baseline data is intended to provide a point of reference for measuring the
degree to which the project had achieved its objectives. In this context the
baseline data currently included in project proposals should be slightly
modified to include:
·
actual ODS consumption by enterprise and its
relation to the national sector consumption for the three years prior to the
submission of the project
·
all equipment to be replaced and retrofitted
(and subsequently destroyed or de-commissioned) by model number, serial number,
and control, as pertinent
·
design type (local or international) and the
year of manufacture
·
date of installation and commissioning of the
equipment
·
design capacity where applicable
·
applicable national or international safety
standard
·
accurate number of units/systems produced
·
the beginning of project activities at the
country level as stated by the Article 5 Party concerned. Where possible, these
activities should be listed
Milestones for project monitoring
In
addition to the existing requirements, the following milestones for project
monitoring should be indicated by the number of months from project approval
until:
·
grant agreement submitted to beneficiary
·
grant agreement signature
·
bids prepared and requested
·
contracts awarded
·
equipment delivered
·
commissioning and trial runs
·
de-commissioning and/or destruction of redundant
baseline equipment
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/23/68, Decision 23/7, para. 20).
