The Executive Committee decided:
(a) In the case of countries requesting institutional-strengthening projects for the first time, approval would be for three years;
(b) Initial renewals would be at the same level of funding as the first approval; would be for two years; and would be conditional upon a report of progress and an articulated plan of future actions, this report to be submitted six months before the end of the three-year approval period; and
(c) Any subsequent renewal would also be for two years; and would also be conditional upon a report of progress and an articulated plan of future actions.
