Implementation Completion and Results Report on a Grant from The Montreal Multilateral Fund to The Republic of The Philippines for an Ozone Depleting Substances Phase-Out Project

The Philippines ODS Phase-out Project lasted 17 years and consisted of two phases. Phase 1, implemented from 1994-2003, was largely successful in meeting its objective to assist the Government to phase-out the use of ODS within its territory by the Year 2000 through (a) the introduction of appropriate technology measures; (b) the institutional strengthening of responsible governmental entities; and (c) the implementation of specific cost-effective priority investments to reduce consumption of ozone depleting substances. Phase 2, implemented from 2003-2011, was less successful, largely due to the fact that many of the outcomes achieved were the result of a shrinking global supply of CFCs driven by Montreal Protocol implementation of timed production sector phase-out and availability of less expensive alternatives in the market, as opposed to specific Project investments. In particular, the largest component of Phase 2, a voucher system designed to provide tools and equipment to service shops, failed to support phase-out in the servicing sector mainly due to poor management and lack of oversight.

This Implementation Completion and Results (ICR) report, is an independent assessment of Project preparation and supervision.The ratings assessed in the ICR report are independent of those assessed by the supervision team during Project implementation.
