The Executive Committee decided:
- To note:
- The evaluation of the performance of implementing agencies against their 2023 business plans, as contained in document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/95/9;
- That all implementing agencies had a quantitative assessment of their performance for 2023 of at least 80 on a scale of 100;
- That trend analysis indicated that the performance of implementing agencies had not improved for some indicators in 2023 compared with 2022;
- That quantitative performance in 2023 had improved for three implementing agencies (UNDP, UNIDO and the World Bank) compared with 2022;
- With appreciation, the efforts undertaken by bilateral and implementing agencies to have open and constructive discussions with the respective national ozone units (NOUs) about the areas in which their services were perceived to be less than satisfactory and that the outcome of their consultations with the NOUs concerned had also been satisfactory; and
- To encourage NOUs to submit, on a yearly basis and in a timely manner, their assessments of the qualitative performance of the bilateral and implementing agencies assisting their governments, noting that 88 out of the 144 countries had submitted such assessments for 2023, compared with 80 in 2022.
