The Executive Committee decided:
(a) To defer the institutional strengthening project renewal in Malawi to its next meeting, pending clarification of a number of issues raised in the course of the discussion;
(b) To request the Secretariat to write to the Government of Malawi and to UNEP to express the Executive Committee’s concern that funds allocated be used for the purposes for which they were approved, with only minor variations where necessary, and underlining the need to accelerate implementation of the programme.
