Antecedentes

In the 74th Meeting of the Executive Committee, project preparation funding was approved for Lebanon to conduct inventories or surveys on alternatives to ozone depleting substances (ODS) following paragraph 4 of decision XXVI/9. The Executive Committee while approving funding also decided to request the Secretariat to provide an overall analysis of the results of the surveys for consideration of the Executive Committee by its first meeting in 2017 (Decision 74/53).

The Multilateral Fund Secretariat has submitted a document that presents the details of a format for preparation of the surveys and presentation of the resulting data in its document no. UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/75/77. This would be discussed during the 75th Meeting of the Executive Committee. This document contains extensive background information that would be useful for conducting the survey including the list of ODS alternatives that would be covered in the survey.

The survey is proposed to be undertaken through a team consisting of a national consultant and an international expert. The national consultant would undertake survey planning, data collection and data analysis under the technical guidance of the international expert, National Ozone Office and UNDP.
