Approval of projects
The ICCM invited representatives of the participating organizations of the
Inter-Organization Programme on the Sound Management of Chemicals (IOMC) and
the United Nations Development Programme to form a Trust
Fund Implementation Committee. This Committee is responsible for appraising
and approving projects to be financed by the QSP trust fund and meets twice
a year.
Over eight rounds of applications to the QSP trust fund, the secretariat received 234 project proposals. Following the secretariat screening of applications for completeness and eligibility, 191 applications were appraised by the QSP Trust Fund Implementation Committee. The Committee approved 100 projects for total funding of approximately $20,265,064.

Guidance on independent monitoring and evaluation
In order to assist
applicants to the QSP trust fund and project managers and implementing
organizations to arrange the required independent monitoring and evaluation of
QSP trust fund projects, guidelines and reporting forms have been developed.
The
guidelines provide general information for the selection of the monitoring and
evaluation arrangements, including model terms of reference and a suggested
standard guidance and format for reporting to be used by third party
evaluators.
