Having considered the recommendations of the Sub-Committee on Monitoring, Evaluation and Finance (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/31/4, paras. 14 and 15), the Executive Committee decided:
- To take note of the consolidated progress report (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/31/8 and Corr.1);
- To note the levels of unobligated balances held by the implementing agencies and bilateral donors shown in the consolidated progress report;
- To encourage the implementing agencies to work on simplifying their internal procedures;
- To decide that any project preparation funding request by an implementing agency must be accompanied by a letter from the country in order to be approved.
- To monitor closely the implementation of the remaining five projects approved in 1992 on a meeting-by-meeting basis, in the context of projects with implementation delays, until those projects were completed;
- To request the Secretariat to consult with the implementing agencies on the feasibility of closing project preparation accounts annually or biennially and to submit a concise report on the matter to the Executive Committee at its 32nd meeting.
