Having considered the comments and recommendations of the Ethics and Finance Committee, the Adaptation Fund Board decided to:

(a) Request the secretariat and trustee to provide a consolidated report on the status of the pipeline at every EFC meeting, including overall allocated and unallocated AF resources, relative funding allocations made for MIEs and NIEs, projections on projects/programmes entering the pipeline, projections of overall funds available, the status of NIE applications and project preparations, and the status of the submission of project/programme concepts; and the secretariat to propose options to implement the 50 percent cap; and

(b) On the basis of this report and the recommendation of the EFC, consider appropriate measures to implement the cap, including through the suspension of MIE project/programme submissions as appropriate.
