Signatures can then be estimated.

(b) Conducting a pilot, in depth survey and evaluation of potential units in a particular region or subregion

The Chief Administrative Officer also assessed the above mentioned options in terms of their feasibility and practicality.

Needs and constraints A serious constraint to the assessment of vulnerability and adaptation in non Annex I Parties was the lack of data available to meet the demands of the methodologies for these assessments, as well as Parties' inability to conduct the type of assessments that would generate results reliable enough to be incorporated into national planning processes.

A coherent methodology, which gives results that are comparable across the GIWA project, was developed and used to conduct regional assessments by 55 regional assessment teams.

As a result of the global land degradation assessment it will be possible to identify

Monitoring, evaluation and the systematic assessment of performance

This assessment could be qualitative and or quantitative in nature.

(b) Technical assessment of promising new initiatives at the national level and of their potential for international application.

Ms. Ferrer Gómez asked whether an evaluation had been made of the National Gender Equity Plan and, if so, what were the findings.

Further calculations are currently being performed to establish the feasibility of the National Ordinance.

UNEP will only support countries in undertaking primary data and information collections and new needs assessments, when adequate, sectoral needs assessments on which to build integrated and comprehensive needs assessments are not available

One of the main constraints in the assessment of vulnerability and adaptation in non Annex I Parties was the lack of data to meet the demands of the methodologies for these assessments, as well as Parties' inability to conduct the type of vulnerability and adaptation assessments that would generate results reliable enough to be incorporated into national planning processes.

Some countries expressed their concerns about possible duplication with assessments carried out within UNCTAD and by other organizations, and questions were raised about the sources of information that would be used for the assessment.

Approval of the assessment would be subject to funding being made available for the project.

He stressed that the Commission was proceeding very prudently and that the various possibilities described in his report would be tested and evaluated through a pilot study.

If there had been rational technology assessment then, I think they very well might have said, Let's call the whole thing off.

Climate change impacts, adaptation measures and response strategies Serious constraints to the assessment of vulnerability and adaptation in non Annex I Parties were the lack of data, quality control, archiving, retrieval, preparation and analysis of data to meet the demands of the methodologies for assessments, as well as Parties' inability to conduct the type of assessments that would generate results reliable enough to be incorporated into the national planning processes.

(c) Provide a technical assessment of progress in implementation of the Convention and

Progress was made especially with regard to the threat assessment as well as possible preventive measures.

This is particularly applicable when an assessment of a possible violation of article 27 requires an assessment of the relevant evidence both by the domestic courts and in turn the Committee.

The new system will enable UNDCP to assess evaluation results and obtain systematic information on the need and possibilities for improving project performance.

This survey and evaluation was to be carried out in three phases, namely (1) a global survey to identify the principal potential units, particularly networks, (2) a pilot in depth survey and evaluation of potential units in a particular region and subregion, and (3) replication of the in depth survey and evaluation of units in other regions and subregions.

(f) Methodology for conducting the pilot in depth surveys and evaluation of potential units in different regions and subregions and their replication in other regions developed

The Welfare Chart also provides the opportunity for their evaluation.

Other factors, however, may impinge upon the accuracy of that assessment.

There are several distinct steps in the criteria based assessment process, although some can occur concurrently.

At that time, we will be able to assess the progress made towards development.

Remote sensing data integrated into a GIS could be used to help monitor droughts and forest fires and to assess the probability of and possibly predict earthquakes.

The possibility of assessing in particular the spatial and temporal dimensions of the problem of desertification is enhanced.

The experience with estimations of the size of the illegal drug industry highlights the difficulties involved in arriving at estimates and their high degree of uncertainty.

We endorse the launch of the start up phase of the assessment of assessments as a preparatory stage towards the establishment of the regular process.

Administrative and management systems can be assessed only when such critical elements of the national context are taken into account.

It has also developed a Diagnostic Framework which can be used to self assess various aspects of a Customs Administration and to identify Capacity Building needs.

The MDG needs assessments, as well as any other assessments of capacity constraints, should be factored in during the CCA stage.

Assessment and transferability of innovations

The possibility of discovering mobile biological warfare capability is assessed as still possible but very unlikely.

He had requested Mr. Baker to assess the implementability of the settlement plan, to examine ways of improving the chances of resuming its implementation in the near future and, if there were none, to advise him on other possible ways of moving the peace process forward.

Since tensions and the prospect of renewed fighting remain high, a thorough assessment of the impact on civilians has not yet been possible.
