The Executive Committee, having taken note of the presentation, decided:
(a) To request the consultant to do further work, for submission to a subsequent Meeting, concentrating on the following considerations:
(i) While significant changes were proposed in the evaluation area, the proposed system of monitoring was largely in place already, embodied in the present system of reporting;
(ii) It was important that the monitoring and evaluation function should not engender excessive costs, nor inflate a presently lean and efficient Secretariat;
(iii) Evaluations had to involve all stakeholders;
(iv) Decisions on the scope of external evaluations, and on the number performed in a year, might have to remain in the hands of the Meeting of the Parties;
(b) To invite members of the Executive Committee to submit additional comments in writing to the Fund Secretariat in order to facilitate the work of the consultant.
