Since 1999, multi-year agreements have become a predominant funding modality
of the multilateral fund to assist Article 5 countries in achieving the ODS
phase out targets under the Montreal Protocol. Under these agreements, the
responsible implementing agencies are required to submit a verification report
on the achievement of the ODS reduction targets specified in the agreements as a
prerequisite for the release of the next tranche of funds.

competitive bidding exercise to conduct the verification of the NPP achievements
during the implementation of the 2nd tranche of the project.

recommendations from the auditors provided in the 2004 report.
