Following presentations by Mr. Biot and Mr. Khan of suggested text on operational and funding priorities, and other suggestions for revisions by members and alternate members, the Board decided to adopt the Operational Policies and Guidelines for Parties to Access Resources from the Adaptation Fund on the understanding that the Chair would work with the Secretariat to refine the wording of the document. The  Operational Policies and Guidelines for Parties to Access Resources from the Adaptation Fund, as orally amended and as refined by the Chair, are contained in Annex III to the present report.
