Implementation delays and status reports

In light of Decision 34/3 and 35/13(e) and the indication by the Sub-Committee on Monitoring, Evaluation and Finance that there were official reasons to note that the Tanzania Domestic Appliance Manufacturer (TDAM) project had been cancelled, taking into consideration the specific circumstances of the project delay, the Executive Committee decided, as an exceptional case, that UNIDO, in cooperation with the Secretariat, would continue to monitor project implementation under the following conditions:

(a) TDAM, through the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania, would provide to the Secretariat by 30 April 2002 a detailed plan of action for the conversion process, indicating the timing for the main activities to be undertaken by TDAM up to the date of project completion and confirming that all costs of site preparation, including the provision of additional materials and equipment, would be borne by TDAM;

(b) By 1 July 2002, major civil construction and mechanical/electrical engineering works would be completed by TDAM, specifically including drainage of the building location, elevation of the floor, and provision of required piping and wiring systems. TDAM would report to UNIDO through the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania on completion of the above-mentioned works;

(c) The relevant audit of UNIDO on TDAM’s achievements would be submitted to the Secretariat accordingly;

(d) In the event that the above milestones were not met in time, the project would be cancelled automatically without bringing the issue to the Executive Committee.
