Decision 21/36

February 1997
Monitoring and evaluation - policies

The Executive Committee further decided:

(a) That there should be a modest strengthening of the Secretariat in order to provide a measure of monitoring and evaluation capacity;

(b) That once the work programme has been defined and developed by the Monitoring, Evaluation and Finance Sub-Committee, necessary evaluations will be carried out, bearing in mind the requirements of Action 1 under decision VII/22 of the Seventh Meeting of the Parties (UNEP/OzL.Pro.7/12, annex V);

(c) That it would need to review the progress on implementation of the monitoring and evaluation programme after one year;

(d) To request the Secretariat to work with the implementing agencies and propose for consideration by the Executive Committee or the Monitoring, Evaluation and Finance Sub‑Committee deletions from and/or additions to the current monitoring parameters so as to make them more strategic. In this regard, the Secretariat and the implementing agencies should consider suggestions by members of the Executive Committee;

(e) To request the Secretariat to work with the implementing agencies to explore ways in which standardized monitoring and evaluation components could be included in project proposals and to propose standardized guidelines for the content of project completion reports by implementing agencies; and

(f) To request the Secretariat to report back to the Twenty-second Meeting of the Executive Committee on actions taken pursuant to these decisions.
