The Executive Committee decided:

1. To approve, in principle, stage I of the Kigali HFC implementation plan (KIP) for Lesotho for the period 2024–2029 to reduce HFC consumption to 51.6 per cent of the country’s baseline by 2029, in the amount of US $163,850, consisting of US $114,000, plus agency support costs of US $14,820, for UNEP and US $31,000, plus agency support costs of US $4,030, for UNIDO, as reflected in the schedule contained in annex XLII to the present report;
2. To note that, upon completion of the end-user demonstration project included in stage I of the KIP, UNEP, in coordination with UNIDO, would submit a final report on the implementation of the project, including the HFC phase-out and energy efficiency gains achieved, in line with decision 92/36(g);
3. To note also:
   1. That the Government of Lesotho would continue to monitor its HFC consumption to understand the extent to which reported consumption in the baseline years was representative of the local market’s needs and to assess what future HFC demand would be and would provide that analysis when submitting the second tranche of its KIP;
   2. That, on the basis of the information provided in subparagraph (c)(i) above, the maximum allowable consumption limits for the remaining years of stage I of the KIP, as contained in Appendix 2-A to the future Agreement between the Government of Lesotho and the Executive Committee, would be revised when the Committee considered the second tranche of the KIP;
4. To approve the first tranche of stage I of the KIP for Lesotho, and the corresponding tranche implementation plan, in the amount of US $92,660, consisting of US $64,000, plus agency support costs of US $8,320, for UNEP and US $18,000, plus agency support costs of US $2,340, for UNIDO; and
5. To request the Government of Lesotho, UNEP, UNIDO and the Secretariat to finalize the draft Agreement between the Government of Lesotho and the Executive Committee for the reduction in consumption of HFCs, including the information contained in the annex referred to in subparagraph (a) above, and to submit it to a future meeting once the KIP agreement template had been approved by the Executive Committee.
