During the pilot, an estimated US$ 730 million was allocated to fmd a work progrm of I 1S global, regional, and country projects. In March 1994, some 73 participating govements ooncluded negotiations for restucturing the Facility as a major souroe for global envirnnment funding Together with the revisions of institutional arrangements for the GEF, the core fund was replenished with more than USS 2 billion to be committed during a duce-year period, including for activities dtat addess land degrdation, primarily desertification and deforestation, as they relate to the four focal areas. All funds, r- ceipts, assets, and liabilities held in the pilot phase were htansferred to the new mmst fumd in March 1995, asthe pilot phase terminated and the new GEF was established as a permanent mechanism to finance innovative programs and facilitate policy discourse A cuncil of 32 members represtig participating countries now convenes biannually to adopt, review, and evuate the operational policies. The council also approves GEF work programs and direct the utilization of GE; funds. An independent Secretariat was also established. An operational strategy was developed to ensure that GEF rzources would be used cost-effectively and to maximize global benefits. Approved by the Council in October 1995, this strategy is intended to provide a programmaic framework for stronger integra- don among the GEFs implementing agencies (UNDP, UNEP, and the World Bankl) the Secreariat, STAP, and for the international conventions on biodiversity and climate change, for which the GEF provides operational mwpo± A great deal has been accomplishc I in the shorlt time since the restructuing. This first annual report reviews the activities of the GEE during the fiscal year of July 1, 1994 through June 30, 1995. The ongoing programs and projects are surveyed, and descriptions are provided of the developments, disbursements and new activities in each focal area The GEF resources being used to help improve the global environment ar also helping to leverage grater attention, poitical wil, and more finding for these urgent needs. Now in its second year, and guided by the policies and program priorities of the Confcrence of the Parties (COPs), the Conventions on Biodiversity and Climate Change, as well as by its Council, the Facility can pursue with vigor its mission of global environment improvement, within a frmework of sustainable development, for the benefit of the planet and its inhabitants.

The Council reviewed the proposed schedule of work for the Council during the next twelve months (document GEFIC.112). in rnviewing the document, the Council agreed: a. the regular meetings of the Council would be held semi-annually in April and October of each calendar year, b. during its first year of meetings (July 1994 to July 1995), the Council would meet quarterly; c. The two-track approach proposed in the document was usefiul, and would facilitate a balance between sttegic policy development and operational activities. Quality projects should be presented to the Council after these have been carefully designed and pre- par'ed; Annex A Page 3 of 45 d. The GEF should seek close, collaborative, and active relationships with the Climate Change and Biodiversity Conventions; e. The Council, at its meeting in October 1994, should give high priority to reviewing and, if possible, adopting guidelines on the project cycle. The project cycle should consider, among other things, the issue of country coordination and the policies of the Imple- menting Agencies concerning information disclosure and consultation with, and the participation as appropriate of, non-governmental organizations and local cemmunities in the preparation and implementation of projects; f. At its meeting in October 1994, the Council should consider, in addition to the items proposed in Annex 1 of the document, a preliminary policy paper on incremental costs, a checklist addressing the recommendations set forth in the Independent Evaluation of the GEF, and a preliminary issues paper on land degradation (desertification and defor- estation). If necessary, it could postpone the consideration of the preliminary issues paper on Climate Change until the Council meeting in January 1995; g. As an input to the development of an operational strategy, each Implementing Agency is invited to submit, trough the Secretariat, a paper that discusses its strategy for ful- flling the responsibilities assigned to it in the Instrument; h. In developing the operational strategies in the four substantive areas, the objectives of the Desertification Convention should be taken into account; i. In developing the operational strategies, in particular those for Climate Change, Inter- national Waters, and Biodiversity, the recommendations of the Conference on Small Island Developing States should also be taken into account; and j. The Secretariat should update and resubmit for Council consideration the paper that addresses the issue of broad range interaction of non-governmental organizations with the GEF. 6. The Secretariat was advised to review the proposed dates of the Council meetings to avoid conflicts with other international meetings concerned with environment and development is- sues. 7. It was agreed that the Secretariat should prepare a note that more specifically addresses the second track of the work program. This note would include interim guidance for the size of initial financial commitments, type of project/activities to be funded, how "incremental costs" will applI, and distribution among focal points. In preparing the note the Secretariat would take into account the discussions held at the meeting and would undertake intensive consultations with the Members, the Secretariats of the Conventions, and the Implementing Agencies. The Secretariat will circulate the note well in advance of the next meeting with a request for written comments. On the basis of the comments received the Secretariat will prepare a revised note for consideration at the next Council meeting. Annex A Page4 of 45 DRAn RuLES OF PRocEDURE 8. The Council revised the draft Rules of Procedure (document GEFIC. 113) prepared by the Sec- retariat. In reviewing the rules, agreement was reached on the following major amendments: a. Paragraph 2 would be revised to include definitions of "participate," "attend:' and "ob- serve;, b. Paragraph 6 would specify that the CEO may call special meetings of the Council after consultation with the Members; c. The notice of the date and place of each regular meeting will be given by the CEO eight weeks prior to the meeting, and the notice of the date and place of each special meeting will be given four weeks prior to the meeting, d. The Member and Altermate may be accompanied by two advisors; e. Representatives of the Desertification Convention and the Montreal Protocol will be invited to attend the Council meetings; and f. Documentation for the Council meetings would be distributed to all those invited to the meeting in accordance with paragraphs 8 to 13 of the proposed rules of procedure. In accordance with paragraph 9, this would include all Participants in the GEF. 9. The Secretariat will revise the draft rules on the basis of the discussions during the meeting. The revised rules will be tnsmitted to all those invited to attend the Council meetings 6 weeks prior to the next Council meeting, with a request that comments on the rules be submitted to the Secretariat before the next Council meeting. T:cmcAL Now ON NGO RELoNs wn Tm GEF 10. In connection with its discussion on the proposed rules of procedure the Council reviewed the technical note on NGO relations with the GEF (GEF/C.1/4). In reviewing the document, the Council agreed that: a. NGOs have played an important and creative mle in the GE, >>d tbis must be sus- tained and fostered; b. The NGO consultations conducted during the GEF Pilot Phase proved very useful and need to be continued; c. Council Members generally felt that semi-annual consultations are appropriate, and several Members also noted the value of regional consultations in addition to such con- sultations; Annex A Page 5 of 45 d. With a few exceptions, the Council widely felt that NGOs should be invited to observe Council meetings and that somewhere on the order of 8 NGO observers may be consid- ered appropriate for this purpose; and e. Constraint of funds should not act as a constraint for effective NGO participation in consultative meetings, especially for recipient-country NGOs. While some Members expressed a preference for providing funds through the Small Grants Programme, it was broadly considered that it would better promote efficiency of resources and enable the monitoring of its optimal use if the funds for consultations are provided from the Secretariat's administrative budget. Several Members expressed a preferensc for the use of voluntary funds in financing the consultations. DISCUSSION OF IE PILOT PHASE WORIC PROGRAM 11. The Council reviewed the work program for the Pilot Phase and endorsed the work program subject to comments made at the meeting. It was agreed that written comments may be pro- vided by Members to the Secretariat within the next four weeks. DIsCUSSION OF STAP IssuEs PAPR 12. UNEP provided a briefing to the Council on the issues paper on STAP. It was agreed that Members may provide additional comments on the draft issues paper within four weeks. Members generally shared the feeling that the challenges and responsibilities enjoined on the Council would require continued close cooperation and support, not only among themselves and the constituencies they represent, but also with all implementing and executing agencies, COPs and secretariats of the Conventions, NGOs, and the private sector. Such cooperation is needed in order to enable the GEF to filfill its promise and meet these daunting challenges.

With regard to paragraph 8, the Council agreed to maintain the paragraph as agreed in July: two advisors may accompany each Council Member. In explaining this nrle, it was noted tat a number of possibilities had been explored for ensuring that the meeting vas as open as possible Annex A Pag 7 of 45 while maintaining a business-like culture for the Council proceedings. There was no limit on the number of representatives who could register at the meeting. The number of Members, Alternates, and advisors was related to the format and number of representatives in the meeting room. Members were free to rotate the individuals advising them at the meeting. 8. In discussing Section X of the Rules, "Languages," the CEO/Chair explained to the meeting the practice of the Secretariat Documents for GEF Council meetings will be prepared in English. Interpretation at the meetings will be available in English, French, and Spanish. Correspon- dence and other incom;ng communications can be submitted to the Secretariat in any of the three languages. Important documents, such as the Instrument for the Establishment of the GEF, and general information on the GEF are available in the three languages. This will in- clude final Council documents on substantive operational matters, such as the GEF Annual Report, Rules of Procedure, or the GEF Project Cycle, once the Council has approved such documents. In addition, documentation concerning projects will be translated into the appro- priate language or languages for those interested in the project at the local and national level. The Secretariat was requested to prepare a note on this matter for the Council's review and approval. 9. In reviewing the section on "Interventions,' the Council agreed to delete paragraph 26 on the understanding that all speakers would need to be invited by the Chair to take the floor before addressing the Council.

AnnexA Page 9 of 45 AwPENDix TO CHAlRS' JoINT SUMW4Y CouNcIL DECSONS Decision on Agenda Item 5 Draft Ruls of Procedure for the GEF Council At its second meeting, after reviewing draft Rules of Procedure, the Council adopted the at- tached Rules of Procedure for the GEP Council. Dedsion on Agenda Item 6 Question of NGO Observers at Council Meetings and N G 0 ronsultations At its second meeting, the Council considered the issue of NGO representation at Council meet- ings and NGO consultations. In this regard, the Council decided: Council Meetings: a. For purposes of paragraph 13 of the Council's rules of procedure, the CEO shall invite 5 NGO representatives to attend Council meetings and 5 NGO representatives to ob- serve the meetings. Such recpresentatives will be invited to attend or observe, as the case may be, Council discussions on all agenda items except those considerd in execu- five session as provided for in paragraph 14 of the rules of procedure. The GEF admin- istrative budgets should always be considered in executive session as well as decisions on amendments to the rules of procedure. Since the administrative budget will be on the agenda of each Council meeting, either for approval or review, an executive session should be scheduled for each meeting. The executive session could also be used by the Chair to take decisions relating to the allocation of funds. b. The Council invites the Secretarit, in consultation with NGOs, to develop criteria for selectng NGO representatives to attend or observe Council meetings. Such criteria should be based on the principles of regional representation and of self-selection by the NGOs, taldng into account the GEF thematic scope. The Secretariat should submit proposed criteria to the Council for review and approval at its third meeting. c. The cost of NGO attendees from recipient countries should be provided for in the ad- inistrative budget of the GEF Searxiat, Such financing should be clearly identified in a separate line item in the budget. In accordance with paragraph 20(G) of the Instu- mentfor the Establishment of the Restructured GEF, the Secretariat's budget will be approved by the CounciL NGO Consultations: d. The Council requests the Secretariat to prepare a paper on NGO consultations for consid- eration at its third meeting in Januauy 1995. The paper should elaborate further on the inormation presented in the Technical Note on NGO Relations with the GEF (document Annex A Page 10 of 45 GEF/C. 114) and, in particular, should address the s-ope of such consultations, cost impli- cations, and other modalities for their organization. C. Pending a decision on the scope and funding of NGO consultations, the Council re- quests the CEO to convene an NGO consultation in accordance with Pilot Phase prc- tice prior to the Council meeting in January 1995. Decision on Agenda Item 7 Proposed GEF Project Cycle The Council reviewed document GEFIC.V23, Proposed GEF Project Cycle, and agreed that further work should be undertaken in light of the discussions and a revised paper submitted to the fourth Council meeting in April. Members were invited to submit written comments to the Secretariat by December 1, 1994. Pending the adoption of a final project cycle, the Council agreed that projects could be developed in accordance with the interim project cycle as revised by the Council and attached to this decision. The Council agreed that the Secretariat should establish the Project Development Facility (PDF) with an initial allocation of US$15 million. The Secretariat was requested to submit to the Council meet- ing in January 1995 a note further elaborating on the PDF, including criteria for the selection of projects, monitoring of resource allocations, Implementing Agencies' best practice on project preparation funding during the project cycle, and regular reporting on PDF activities. It was agmed that no Block C funds would be committed until the Council had reviewed the paper on the PDF at its January meeting. Decision on Agenda Item B Role and Mandate of STAP The Council reviewed document GEFIC.214, Role and Mandate of STAP. The Council invited UNEP to revise the paper on the basis of its discussions. UNEP is also requested to proceed with the establishment of STAP on the basis of Option 3 in the paper and the comments made during the Council review. STAP, once established, is requested to propose for Council approval criteria to guide the selective review of projects by STAP. Decision on Agenda Item 9 Guidancefor Programming GEF Resources in 1995 The Council reviewed the proposed programming guidance in document GEF/C.2/5 for the three program components. Notwithstanding reservations expressed by certain Members on certain aspects of the document, the Council expressed general support for the ranges of funding. The Council agreed that the funding levels are programmatically oriented and are indicative figures, not targets. There should be flexibility in the allocation of funds within ranges and between focal areas. The Coun- cil approved continued funding for the Small Grants Program subject to the conclusions of an indepen- dent review of its Pilot Phase activities. In addition, international waters should be included under enabling activities. When operational strategies for international waters and land degradation activities are approved by the Council, funding for priority activities would be included in 1995 programming. The Secretariat was requested to inform the Conferences of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Framework Convention on Climate Change of the Council's approach to program- ming of GEF resources in each of the relevant focal areas in 1995 and to invite the Conference of the Parties tG consider the categories of activities selected for implementation. Annex A Page 11 of 45 Decision on Agenda Item 10 Incremental Costs and Financing Policy Issues The Council did not review the document prepared for this agenda item, but Members were invited to submit written comments to the Secretariat by December 1, 1994. It was agreed that this matter should be included on the agenda of a future Council meeting. Decision on Agenda Item U Issues concerning administrative budget management The Council reviewed document GEFIC.2, Issues Concerning Adrministraive Budget Man- agement, and Members were requested to submit additional comments in writing to the Secretariat by December 1, 1994. During its review, the Council expressed its serious concem with the proposed budgets for the administrative expendimes of the Inplementing Agencies for FY95 as presented in Annex C to the document. The Council noted, in particular, that it was unable to judge whether the proposed increases in expenditu.es were warranted, since the Council did not have before it any infor- mation to justify such increases. The Council requests that a full consideration and approval of EY95 administrative budgets be included on the agenda for the next Council meeting. In order to assist the Council in its deliberations, te Secretariat is requested to prepare a detailed analysis of the administrative expenditures and re- quirements of each of the Implementing Agencies and the Secretarat and to reconmnend a process for ensunng regular planning, review, and analysis of administrative expenditures. The Implementing Agencies are requested to provide the Secretariat with detailed information and supporting documenta- tion so as to enable the Secretariat to assess their proposed expenditures. In providing such informa- tion, the Implementing Agencies are requested to break down the information in accordance with the budget categories proposed for FY96 on page 4 of document GEF/C.7 with a view to facilitating an assessment of specific categories of expenditures and an identification of opportunities for cost savings among the Agencies. Pending the Council's review and approval of FY95 administrative budgets, the Implementing Agencies are requested not to exceed the levels of administrative expenditures for FY94 by more than 10%, excluding those administrative expenditures relating to the establisbment of the new STAP, but not the STAP secretariat, according to the guidance of the Council at this meeting. Decision on Agenda Item 12 Follow-up to recomnmendations setforth in the Independent Evaluation of the GEF pilot phase The Council reviewed document GEFIC.218, FoUow-up to Recommendations Set Forth in the Independent Evaluation of the GEF Pilot Phase. Council Members were invited to submit written comments on the document to the Secretariat by December 1, 1994. The Council agreed that it would be useful to keep the response to the recommendations of the Evaluation under review through regular reports to the Council, including a more analytical report in July 1995, and the Secretariat was re- quested to reflect the recommendations in its work on developing GEF policy for Council consider- ation. The Secretariat and the Implementing Agencies were requested to take the recommendations fully into account as they develop and implement the operational activities of the GEF.

The Council reviewed the paper 'The GEF Project Cycle" and noted that it presents a useful framework. However, the GEF project/program cycle will continue to evolve over time and continued development, clarification, and modifications will be needed. Therefore, the Council has agreed to the following interim guidance pending a final decision on the project cycle. A. The Central Importance of a "Country-Driven" ProjectProgram Cycle 2. The three key aspects of a "country-driven" project cycle are: (i) All project concepts under review for GEF fimding must be endorsed and/or approved by the host government; (ii) All project concepts and proposals must "fit" into a national strategic framework and be considered by government as a priority. Such proposals could be developed through a national consultative process; and (iii) In the case of regional and global projects, the commitment of countries to regional/ global objectives, institutions and/or frameworks would be stressed. B. Phases of the Interim Project Cyde 3. The three phases are: Phase One (Preparation): Project Development Fund to be established provided that: $ Priority is given to the development and appropriate distribution of the GEF information kit; * Eligible expenditure items are clearly identified and are linked to in-country project development expenditure and do not substitute for Implementing Agency and/or executing agency administrative overhead; * Funding thresholds of $50,000 for Block A components, $350,000 for Block B components and $1 million for Block C components are treated as "ceilings", not entitlements, and Implementng Agencies program such funds efficientlv; * PDF funds could also be utilized by national entities to prepare programs in order that GEF-timded activities are clearly linked to national programs and priorities; * JUS$15 million be allocated initially to the PDF, but at the end of its first year of operation, the PDF be comprehensively reviewed and evaluated; AnnexA Page 28 of 45 * At each meeting Council be informed of progress and status of implementation of the PDF; * The period between project initiation and approval within the work program be kept under continuous review with a view to expediting project preparation to the greatest extent possible and to eliminating bottlenecks; and * The Secretariat consults with Implementing Agencies and then develops and issues the relevant OPGs. • Phase Two (Project Approval): * Each implementing agency will conduct the project approval process according to its own rules and consistent with Article 30 of the Instrument with respect to endorsement by the CEO and review by the Council prior to final project ap- proval. * Phase Three (amplementation): * An annual review of project perfonnance will be undertaken by the Secretariat during the first year of the "interim" project cycle. The results will be incorpo- rated into the Annual Report of the GEF for discussion and approval by the Council. C. Monitoring and Evaluation *b A Monitoring and Evaluation paper will be sent to Council for consideration and approval at its Fourth meeting. The paper will propose evaluation criteria applicable to all aspects of the project Cycle and, once approved, will be imple- mented. D. The role of STAP * The Secretarat will ensure that STAP's role in the "interim" project cycle fully conforms to the Council agreements reached with respect to the paper 'The Role and Mandate of STAP". E The role of the GEF Operations Committee (GEFOP) * GEFOP wil be established immediately; * GEFOP will include representatives of each Implementing Agency and the Chairperson (or his/her designate) of STAP; and * Representatives of the Biological Diversity Convention and of the Climate Change Convention will be invited to attend all relevant GEFOP meetings.

Annex A Page 32 of 45 APPENDIX TO CUIRS' JOINT SUMMARY CouricI DECISIONS DEnoN ON AGENDA ITEM 6 Work Program Proposedfor Approval 1 In reviewing the work program proposed for approval, documents GEFIC.3/3 and GEFIC.31 Add. 1 and Add.2, the Council stressed that its role should be to review GEF programming and associated policy issues and not to enter into micromanagement of projects. The need for transparency in project preparation and a clear understanding of the procedures and processes for project development and approval was stressec. 2. The Council requested the Secretariat to prepare an analytical report to accompany future work programs. The analysis should elaborate upon the policy issues raised by the program and projects and should draw to the Council's attention any matter that requires Council guidance. The Council stressed the need for consistency in the format and information presented in project proposals contained in the work program. 3. The Council requested the Secretriat to prepare, for consideration at its October meeting, a document proposing GEF policies for information disclosure and public participation. 4. With regard to eligibility, the Council agreed that when a project in the focal area of climate change or biological diversity concerns a country that has deposited its instrument of ratifica- tion to the convention concerned but for which the convenition has not yet entered into force, that country may be deemed to have satistied the eligibility criterion that it be a party to the convention on the understanding that no actual disbursement would occur untl such time as the convention was effective for the country. 5. The Council approved the proposed work program on climate change and biodiversity and directed the component projects tD be developed further, taldng into account the commerts raised by the Coun- cl and any subsequent comments to be submitted in writing by the Members by March 15,1995: Climate Change projects Argentina: Country Study on Climate Change Botswaur Enabling Botswana to fuli its commitments to the UN Framework Conven- tion on Climate Change China: Energy Conservation and Pollution control in Town and Village Enterprises (rVE) Jordan: The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan - Building Capacity to respond to the chal- lenges and o-,,ortunities created by national response to the Framework Con- vention on Climate Change Maldives: National GHG inventory and adaptation assessment to Climate Change Uruguay: Instittional Strengthening and Enabling Activities to comply with the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change Global: Country Case Studies on Climate Change impacts and adaptation assessment - Phase I Annex A Page 33 of 45 Global: Economics of GHG Limitations - Phase I: Establishment of a Methodological Framework for Climate Change Mitigation Assessment Biodiversity projects Djibouti: Development of a National Biodiversity Strategy Bolivia and Peru: Conservation of Biodiversity in the Lake Titicaca Basin China: Nature Reserves Management 6.

Annex c Page 5 of 18 GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT FACILITY TRUST FUND UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE I - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND RELATED POLICIES Organization and Operation of the GEF Trust Fund The Instrument for the Establishment of the Restructured GEF provides for a GEF Trust Fund (the Fund) to be established. The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the Bank) was invited to serve as and accepted the role of Trustee of the Fund. The Fund became effective on March 16, 1995, the date on which instruments of commitment for contributions to the Fund deposited with the Trustee exceeded SDR 980.53 million. With the establishment of the Fund the pilot phase Global Environment Trust Fund (GET) was terminated and all funds, receipts, assets and liabilities held in the GET were transferred to the Fund. The financial statements at June 30, 1995 disclose the position of the Fund; comparative figures at June 30,1994 disclose the position of the pilot program; cumulative figures from inception to June 30, 1995 disclose combined GtET and Fund changes in cash and investments. The Implementing Agencies for the Fund, as for the pilot program, are the Bank, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). Procedural arrangements for operational cooperation among UNDP, UNEP and the Bank under the GEF were signed by the Executive Heads of the three agencies on October 28,1991. The resources of the Fund in the custodianship of the Trustee are kept separate from the resources of the Bank. Translation of Currencies The Fund's principal financial statements are expressed in terrns of US dollars solely for the purpose of summarizing the Fund's financial position and the results of its operations for the convenience of its participants and other interested parties. Administrative expenses are incurred in US dollrs. The operations of the Fund are conducted in the currencies of its participants and the Special Drawing Right (SDR). Pledges outstanding are translated at market rates of exchange at the end of the accounting period. Cash, investments and notes not encashed are translated at market rates of exchange at the end of the accounting period. Cash contributions and notes encashed which have been disbursed are translated at market rates of exchange on the date of disbursement. Cash contributions, notes encashed, and investment income which have not been disbursed are translated at market rates of exchange at the end of the accounting period. Approved commitments represent projects approved by the Implementing Agencies. Commitments for investment projects are apprved by the Bank in US dollars and translated into SDR's at the market rate of exchange at the time of approval; commitments for Project Preparation Advance are approved by the Bank in SDRs and are translated at the market rate of exchange at the end of the accounting period. UNDP's and UNEP's commitments for projects are approved in US dollars. Commitments for the Project Development Facility are approved by all Implementing Agencies in US dollars. At June 30,1995 and June 30,1994, SDR 1 equaled USD 1.56622 and USD 1.44648, respectively. (contnued) Annex G Page 6 of 18 GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT FACILITY TRUST FUND UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) NOTE 2 - BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the cash basis of accounting modified to reflect notes not encashed and discounts in respect of contributions paid in advance. Pledges Pledges to the Fund are denominated in SDR or a currency that is freely convertible. Investments and Investment Income Contributions pending disbursement are investible. Investment securities are recorded at cost or amortized cost Investment income accrues to the Fund. Investment income earned on uradisbursed advances to UNDP and UNEP is apportioned from the agencies' central pool on an annual basis. Approved Commitments The Implementing Agencies are authorized by the Council to make commitments by extending grants to eligible recipient countries. Administrative Expenses The Council is responsible for approving the administrative budget of the GEF. The Fund pays the Bank (as Implementing Agent and as Trustee), UNDP, UNEP and the Secretariat for administration costs incurred on behalf of the GEF. Project Disbursements and Advances Each Implementing Agency observes the samne procedures and requires substantially the same documentaion in connection with the Fund disbursements and advances as it does for its own affairs. NOTE 3 - CONTRIBUTIONS IN THE FORM OF NOTES Notes contributed are nonnegotiable, noninterest bearing demand notes and are denominated in SDR or a currency that is freely convertible. Notes contributed in respect of the Pilot Phase are encashed in equal annual installments and have a term of five to eight years; notes contributed in respect of the new Fund are encashed quarterly as needed for disbursements and transfers pursuant to the work program approved by the Council. NOTE 4 -SECRETARIAT MANAGED ACTIVITIES Starting in FY95 the project disbursements and administrative expenses of the Secretart have been accounted for separately from those of the Bank and are reported as separate FY95 disbursements and expenses in these financial statements. In the interest of comparability, the cumulative disbursements and expenses of the Secretariat and its predecessor from inception to June 30th, 1995 have also been disclosed separately.
