Its draft operational policy and strategic framework supported participatory approaches and required consent, particularly on projects that would have adverse impacts.

As of July 2004, 77 joint WFP FAO projects were operational in 41 countries, with WFP providing food and FAO supplying technical assistance.

The Committee notes from the supplementary information provided to it that the expenditure under operational costs as at 31 August 2005 amounted to 20 million, which, if compared with the budget of 135.3 million, may indicate delays in the implementation of projects funded under operational costs.

As a result of potentially not recovering all costs incurred on all projects accepted prior to 28 April 2005, UNOPS may not have sufficient funds to contribute to the operational reserve.

Also in resolution 3 4, the Forum invited the Global Environment Facility (GEF), within its mandate and respective operational programmes and strategies, to give due consideration to financing related forests projects.
