5. Implementation indicators
The implementation of the work programme was evaluated based on the agreed set of performance
indicators.
The Marine Programme demonstrated excellent efficiency in delivering the planned outputs, especially in
the continental shelf related activities of the UNEP Shelf Programme and has by far exceeded the
planned figures mostly due to the high demand for information from, and assistance to coastal and small
island developing states. However the continued focus on extended continental shelf activities has led to
slower than planned implementation of some of the other marine activities.
The Regional Field Programme has delivered all outputs as planned. In 2 activities: the number of
countries supported and the number of outreach packages produced the planned numbers were
exceeded, due to higher demand for support from countries.
The Polar and Cryosphere Programme fully implemented all planned outputs except for one. A set of
outreach materials on nature and scope of impacts will be completed in the first quarter of 2010.
