What is the current policy of the Multilateral Fund towards HCFC projects?

A number of Executive Committee Decisions have stated that, whenever possible, HCFCs should not be used and that implementing agencies should note a presumption against HCFCs when preparing projects. HCFCs should only be recommended in projects where more environment-friendly and viable alternative technologies are not available. Currently the Multilateral Fund guidelines prevent funding of any ODS facility which has already received Multilateral Fund assistance to convert to HCFCs (or was created since 1995) to transition out of HCFCs.
