Having considered the comments and recommendation of the Sub-Committee on Monitoring, Evaluation and Finance (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/39/6, paragraphs 40 and 41), the Executive Committee decided:
(a) To take note of the Consultant’s report contained in document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/SCMEF/19/2;
(b) To consider clarifying the following issues at its 41st meeting:
- Could the Senior Monitoring and Evaluation Officer exercise a certain independence within the Secretariat in the context of United Nations staff rules?
- Who had final responsibility for the evaluation reports presented to the Executive Committee and to the Sub-Committee on Monitoring, Evaluation and Finance, particularly with respect to technical and/or policy recommendations?
