PIGGAREP Quarterly Progress Report 4th Quarter 2011

PIGGAREP 4th quarter progress report 2011. The key activities implemented this quarter included the following: • Finalisation of the Solomon Island Wind Monitoring Contract • Finalisation of the Kiritimati Island Biofuel feasibility study contract; and, • The Installation of the Vanuatu Wind Monitoring towers. During the 4th quarter only 34% (202,994.94) of 4th quarter budgeted funds ($591,215.40) were spent. And of this amount, $40,831.11 covers PMO related expenses. This low delivery rate is due to the PICs slowness and delays in implementing their PASes and due to their internal administrative procedure. This issue is not new and has been repeatedly discussed by the PMO with the countries and the PB.
