Quick Start Programme Trust Fund projects
Approval of projects
The ICCM invited representatives of the participating organizations of the Inter-Organization Programme on the Sound Management of Chemicals (IOMC) 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 twelve rounds of applications to the QSP trust fund, the secretariat received 386 project proposals. Following the secretariat screening of applications for completeness and eligibility, 319 applications were appraised by the QSP Trust Fund Implementation Committee. The Committee approved 146 projects for total funding of approximately $31,237,454.
