Having considered the recommendation of the Sub-Committee on Project Review (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/31/21, para. 35), the Executive Committee decided:
- To request the Secretariat, in cooperation with the implementing agencies, to prepare for the Executive Committee at its 32nd meeting a document containing draft guidelines for the preparation of country programme updates, including conditions for the justification for such updates, as well as the specific consideration that needed to be taken into account to ensure that such updates serve not only the national needs, but also the information and planning needs of the Executive Committee;
- To require that all future requests for country programme updates be in conformity with the guidelines to be agreed by the Executive Committee on the basis of the above-mentioned document.
