1 ex United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization Executive Board Hundred and fifty-fifth Session 155 EX/35 PARIS, 2 September 1998 Original: English/French Item 8.2 of the provisional agenda REPORT ON THE FUNCTIONING OF THE PARTICIPATION PROGRAMME AND EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE SUMMARY The Director-General submits this document to the Executive Board pursuant to 154 EX/Decision 7.6 and within the framework of 29 C/Resolution 51, Part II, paragraph 4. This report presents the situation for the Participation Programme as at 1 July 1998 and contains the following information: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) the distribution of funds for requests by region and by programme sector; a list of requests and the amount for each Member State; a list by priority groups (developing countries, women, youth); an analysis of requests by geographical coverage; a list of financial contributions from the Participation Programme to Member States accorded by the Director-General under C. Emergency assistance; a table, by biennium, region and country showing the number of requests with outstanding financial reports; examples of requests in specific fields. Decision required: paragraph 8.
2 155 EX/35 - page 2 1. This report deals with the implementation of the Participation Programme since the beginning of the biennium. It enables an overall view to be gained of the state of execution of the programme as at 15 August In accordance with 29 C/Resolution 51, Part II, paragraph 4, and with 154 EX/Decision 7.6, this document presents a series of tables containing information which shows how the Participation Programme works: Table I: Table II: Table III: Table IV: Table V: Table VI: Breakdown of funds by region and by sector; Number of requests and amounts by country; Breakdown by priority target; Analysis of requests by region; Breakdown of emergency assistance; Statement of financial reports outstanding since the biennium; Table VII: Examples of requests in specific fields. 3. As proposed at the 154th session of the Executive Board, the Participation Programme Unit sent each Member State a recapitulative table of the requests submitted, reporting on the situation in regard to each request. 4. With regard to implementation of the requests and in accordance with 29 C/Resolution 51, paragraph 7(e), stipulating that funding should, to the extent possible, be allocated no later than 30 days before the start of the activity, the Participation Programme Unit has to contend with the fact that many financial reports remain outstanding. This prevents the Secretariat from making payments relating to recently requests. The Executive Board will find a table attached which states for each country the number of financial reports outstanding by country and by biennium (Table VI). 5. In the context of emergency assistance missions and under development co-operation arrangements, the Participation Programme Unit carried out operations directly on behalf of several Member States for the purpose of strengthening educational and computer systems in liaison with the National Commissions of those countries. Such missions concerned the following countries: the Republic of the Congo (100 tonnes of educational equipment and school materials); Lao People s Democratic Republic (30 computers for the Ecole Normale Supérieure and the Ecole Polytechnique); Jordan (2 tonnes of equipment for disabled children and educational toys); Peru (water purification equipment in order to help populations to cope with the disasters caused by El Niño ). The Director of the Participation Programme is responsible, at the Director-General s request, for ensuring co-ordination of the planned actions, and leads a working group within the Secretariat. 6. All the actions implemented under paragraph 5 were carried out in partnership, involving both financial and material support, with Member States, with major international enterprises and with intergovernmental organizations. They were also implemented in close collaboration with the other agencies of the United Nations system, in particular UNDP and UNIDO.
3 155 EX/35 - page 3 7. At its 154th session, the Executive Board asked that an evaluation report be prepared for its 159th session on the effectiveness of the projects implemented under the Participation Programme in order to enable the Secretariat to produce a document reflecting the reality of the results obtained under the Participation Programme. It should be noted that, generally speaking, and despite the relevant resolutions taken in this regard at the 28th and 29th sessions of the General Conference (28 C/Resolution 12.1 and 29 C/Resolution 51), the Secretariat receives a very limited number of evaluation reports. 8. The Executive Board may wish to adopt a decision along the following lines: The Executive Board, 1. Having examined document 155 EX/35, 2. Appreciates the information provided in this report as requested in 29 C/Resolution 51, Part II, paragraph 4, and in 154 EX/Decision 7.6; 3. Confirms the need to strengthen the operational efficiency of the Participation Programme and Emergency Assistance Unit so as to ensure the timeliness and efficiency of all payments for financial contributions; 4. Invites the Director-General to follow closely the point raised in 29 C/Resolution 51, Part II, paragraph 6, when preparing draft document 30 C/5, on significant increases in the Participation Programme budget line, taking into consideration the necessity to better meet the needs of Member States and to reduce the number of draft resolutions submitted to the General Conference.
