- To approve a total of US $330,000 for the preparation of sector plans and agency support costs for UNDP as follows: US $20,000 plus agency support costs of US $1,500 for the fire fighting and solvents sub-sectors; US $105,000 plus agency support costs of US $7,875 for the foam sub-sector; US $125,000 plus agency support costs of US $9,375 for the air-conditioning sector; and US $80,000 plus agency support costs of US $6,000 for the refrigeration manufacturing sector, on the condition that those approvals constituted a component of Stage 1 of the HPMP for India and that no further funding for project preparation would be requested for those sectors.
