NEW LESSONLESSONSLEARNEDIN VIEWOFFUTURECHALLENGESOFTHE MONTREAL PROTOCOLANDTHE MLF 7 Some of the key features of how the MLF operates have been instrumental to its success, including: a compliance-oriented approach, straightforward and relatively fast access provided to project funds, consistent application of the principle of incremental costs, a transparent and business planning process, continued support for institutional strengthening and capacity building efforts, and decision-making informed by comprehensive technical analysis.
NEW LESSONLessons learned from other international environmental institutions and agreements 8 Private entity and government sustainability and commitment are critical drivers in the success of GEF investments in the ODS focal area, as they also are in the MLF. Strong private sector involvement, including through providing co-financing, contributed to the rapid and enduring phase-out of ODS. In CEITs, the national ozone units ceased to function after GEF support ended, which may prevent measures being put in place to address the remaining threats to the ozone layer, including the phase-out of HCFCs and destruction of unwanted ODS stockpiles. GEF operations have been less cost-effective than those of the MLF, in part because GEF projects did not always adhere to incremental financing procedures.
