Deliver projects on time and within budget.

Information on efficiency gains in support services should also indicate one time projects and the time frame for their implementation.

Further, the Centre should take the initiative in completing evaluation of technical cooperation projects on time.

Despite major financial commitments on paper, design of projects, tender calls, disbursement of funds, and implementation of projects have been taking a great deal of time.

(f) The Foundation and UNFIP may identify new projects and activities at any time based on new developments.

Of 422 projects that were ongoing or closed at April 1998, there were time overruns in 241 projects.

4. Development projects, in particular those on infrastructure, are often planned and implemented within a multi year time frame.

(f) Limited implementation of quick impact projects owing to the short time for the identification and approval of such projects

The Committee notes that the Executive Director indicates that nationally executed projects require more intense and more frequent monitoring than other types of projects in view of implementation difficulties, requiring staff time, travel and communications (paragraph 7), and that from UNDCP s experience, nationally executed projects require more staff time than other projects, for example, for follow up on financial reporting (paragraph 9).

35. The Board was also concerned at substantial time overruns in projects.

Time has showed that the emphasis placed on transport, telecommunications, and pipeline projects as the basis for intraregional development was correct.

Of 422 projects that were ongoing or closed as at April 1998, there were time overruns in 241. Of those, 196 had time overruns of more than one year, with 15 projects showing time overruns of over five years.

Also encourages the mobile phone working group to initiate, at an appropriate time, one or several pilot projects on collection and treatment schemes in areas and regions in need of such projects and, where appropriate, to involve the Basel Convention regional centres in such projects

Most of these Parties have described projects that are currently underway and either noted, or identified, specific additional projects under consideration at this time.

Of those, 196 had time overruns of more than one year, with 15 projects having time overruns of over five years.

31. In UNHHSF, the Board was also concerned about substantial time overruns in projects.

carry out specific studies on pilot projects or to implement the projects

(c) To contribute to identifying projects and activities that are suitable to be funded and supported by the Foundation, based on new developments and factors that may arise from time to time.

Evaluations of particular outputs and projects are done from time to time but they vary in quality and peer reviews are sporadic.

At the same time, it was noted that trade and transport facilitation has benefits beyond those of being an add on to infrastructure projects.

The Committee points out that no information on time frames for projects has been provided in the budget document or in the supplementary information.

UNEP completed 3 out of 8 projects on time, another five have been delayed by 13 to 25 months. (See Annex V, tables 11a b).

As a result, moving services can be organized more expeditiously and projects depending on flexibly available office space can be implemented in shorter time periods.

In fact, time lines for the completion of some projects are conspicuously missing from the annex.

At the time of writing, decisions by potential donors to finance such projects were still pending.

34. There were substantial time lags between the operational closure of projects and their financial closure.

(d) Analyse the reasons for substantial time overruns in projects and take corrective measures (para. 36)

At the time of the audit, in October 1997, the Office had initiated 126 efficiency projects.

SUPPORT TO THE FOLLOWING PROJECTS (During the reporting period, implementation continued on the following projects)

specific studies on pilot projects or to implement the projects with operational applications of technology

Each investment guide would concentrate on providing details on major projects in agro industries and brief profiles of pipeline projects.

The world has over a trillion hours a year of free time to commit to shared projects.

There were 18 security strengthening projects at United Nations Headquarters at the time of the OIOS review.

Such time lags could create a risk that expenditures may be improperly charged to operationally closed projects.

Habitat should analyse the reasons for substantial time overruns in projects and take corrective measures (para. 36).

(c) The Administration should analyse the reasons for substantial time overruns in projects and take corrective measures

(e) Set a time frame for closing the projects financially soon after their operational closure (para. 38)

Funding is exclusively granted to projects and a stronger emphasis is laid on result oriented projects.

It is therefore disappointing that there has been little progress on the Government's five decentralization pilot projects since the last time the Council discussed Kosovo, in February.

Work on specific projects is in progress.
