In decision 2008/15, the Executive Board endorsed the modified system for \ allocation of regular resources for programmes, originally adopted in 1997. It \ decided to maintain the system, with two modifications: (a) adopt the World Bank \ classification of “high income” status as the country threshold for graduation from \ receiving regular resources; and (b) raise the minimum level of regular resource \ allocation from $600,000 to $750,000 for all programme countries, except in those \ otherwise included in multi-country programmes. \ This report responds to the Executive Board request for a report on \ implementation of the modified system and presents lessons learned since 2008. A \ draft decision is included in section IV.
