The Government of Afghanistan plans to achieve the reduction targets in stage II through a three-pronged approach: limiting HCFC supply through the licensing and quota system; reducing the demand for servicing equipment through capacity building and strengthening the training infrastructure; and limiting new demand for HCFCs by banning imports of HCFC-based equipment. It will also foster initiatives such as public procurement, introducing codes and standards, and raising the awareness of end-users to support a transition towards environmentally friendly alternatives and to enhance the market absorption of new technologies. Stage II will aim at creating synergies with the project on minimum energy efficiency performance standards and labelling that was recently approved by the Global Environment Facility (GEF). Gender mainstreaming will be considered in various components in stage II, particularly during capacity building and awareness-raising and outreach. After deducting 8.26 ODP tonnes of HCFC-22 associated with stage I of the HPMP, the remaining consumption eligible for funding amounts to 15.34 ODP tonnes of HCFC-22, 7.67 ODP tonnes of which will be phased out in stage II. The remaining consumption of 7.67 ODP tonnes eligible for funding, will be addressed in a future stage of the HPMP.
