PAPER ON OPTIONS FOR POSSIBLE FUNDING ARRANGEMENTS AND LEVELS FOR INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING SUPPORT BEYOND 2010, AND ON OPPORTUNITIES TO FINE-TUNE THE INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING RENEWAL PROCESS
Following the discussion, the Executive Committee decided:
- To note that the anticipated actions required by Article 5 countries to meet compliance obligations after 2010 provided an indication that funding support for institutional strengthening would likely be needed after 2010 and that possible funding arrangements and levels for institutional strengthening support beyond 2010 should be examined taking into account paragraph (b) below, especially in light of decision XIX/6 of the Nineteenth Meeting of the Parties, which imposed new obligations with respect to an accelerated HCFC phase-out;
- To request the Secretariat to review possible funding arrangements and levels for capacity building, to explore the extent, nature and eligibility of any additional measures that might be considered for funding by the Executive Committee to address activities for HCFC phase-out consistent with guidelines pertaining to institutional strengthening activities to be agreed by the Executive Committee and to report to the Executive Committee by the first Meeting of 2009.
