1. To note the progress report on the implementation of the third tranche of the HCFC phase-out management plan (HPMP) for the total phase-out of HCFCs in Maldives;
2. To request UNDP and UNEP to continue reporting annually on the progress of the transition from the interim technology selected by the Government to refrigerants with low global-warming potential (GWP), in line with decision 75/62(c), and on the implementation of the work programme associated with the final tranche until the completion of the HPMP in 2020;
3. To request the Government of Maldives, UNDP and UNEP to submit the project completion report to the first meeting of the Executive Committee in 2022;
4. To approve the fourth and last tranche of the HPMP for Maldives, and the corresponding 2018–2020 tranche implementation plan, in the amount of US $50,000, plus agency support costs of US $6,500 for UNEP, on the understanding:
   1. That Maldives had consumption in the servicing sector only; and
   2. That end-users participating in the incentive programme for the introduction of new low-GWP air-conditioning equipment for household and small commercial refrigeration appliances would provide co-financing.
