Following informal discussions among interested members, the Executive Committee decided to approve the global technical assistance project for the twinning of national ozone officers and national energy‑efficiency policymakers to support Kigali Amendment objectives (phase I: 2023–2024) in the amount of US $793,400, plus agency support costs of US $97,274 for UNEP, on the understanding that:
- UNEP would submit a midterm report on progress in the implementation of the project referred to in paragraph 149 above to the last meeting of the Executive Committee in 2023 as part of the UNEP Compliance Assistance Programme progress report;
- On the basis of the results of the project, UNEP could consider the development of a second phase that would take into account the outcomes of the workshops conducted in the first phase of the project and include an action plan to address any regional needs identified through the implementation of that first phase; and
- Any balances left from the first phase of the project would be returned to the Multilateral Fund no later than the second meeting in 2025.
