Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of Multilateral Fund financed projects and activities are an essential part of the Secretariat’s work. The process of M&E not only ensures that the funds disbursed are actually being used to meet the project objectives but it is also a tool to assess the overall effectiveness of the Fund in phasing out ozone depleting substances.

Monitoring of projects involves periodic reporting to gauge its progress or lack of progress. Evaluation regards completed and on-going projects and provides information on the strengths and limitations of various types of projects and phase-out plans, the major causes of failures to reach targets, lessons learnt during implementation and recommendations for actions to improve performance of the Fund.
