March 1993
Business planning and work programmes - policies

Proposed three-year plan and budget of the Multilateral Fund (1994-1996)

150.  The Executive Committee, therefore, instructed the implementing agencies to provide input on their capacity to deliver projects on a sector and sub-sector basis taking into account: 

          - the increasing capacities of their clients based on experience and as indicated by country programmes and national or strategic studies as available; 

          - the capacity and performance of implementing agencies to absorb an increasing amount of projects over the budget period; 

          - the anticipated projects possible during the budget period given technological considerations; and 

          - the existing policies of the Executive Committee.

151.  If possible, the product should illustrate the relative magnitude of sub-sector activity annually over the budget period. 

152.  The Executive Committee also instructed the implementing agencies to co-ordinate their plans to avoid overlaps. The Secretariat was instructed to chair a co-ordination meeting no later than 31 March 1993 to incorporate the input of the implementing agencies into a report for distribution to all Executive Committee members no later than 7 April 1993. 

153.  Executive Committee members should be given 10 working days to provide comments on the next working draft. If the Secretariat, in consultation with the Chair and Vice-Chairman, determined that a consensus was not reached by an evaluation of the comments, a sub-committee meeting would be held during the week of 3 to 7 May 1993.
