Having considered the recommendations of the Sub-Committee on Monitoring, Evaluation and Finance (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/35/4, para. 41), the Executive Committee decided:
(a) To take note of the report contained in document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/35/16;
(b) To request all implementing agencies, when finalizing their 2002 business plans, to apply the Secretariat’s advice contained in document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/35/16 relating to the identification of targets for the non-weighted, non-investment project indicators: (1) appropriate and timely policies initiated by countries either as a result of networking, training, information exchange, country programme development and/or institutional strengthening; and (2) the reduction in ODS consumption over and above that effected by investment projects;
(c) To consider revising those indicators unique to UNEP’s specific mandate (Decision 26/6) on the basis of the outputs identified by UNEP in Annex 1 to its draft 2002 business plan (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/35/8 and UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/35/8/Add.1) for the Compliance Assistance Programme (CAP) and to request UNEP to work with the Secretariat in revising Annex I;
(d) To request all implementing agencies to include a target for the performance indicator“timely submission of progress reports” in their final 2002 business plans;
(e) Also to request all implementing agencies to include a new non-weighted, investment project performance indicator for project completion pursuant to Decision 28/2 by setting a target for the number of investment projects to be completed in the year of the business plan;
(f) Further to request implementing agencies to consider revising their targets for their 2002 business plan cost-effectiveness performance indicators in the light of the fact that, historically, cost-effectiveness values achieved by projects had been lower than those targeted by the agencies.
