The figure represents the average ‘planned versus actual’ scheduled minimum annual work program performed for all 10 PASO Member States. The calculation is determined as follows: (a) if the number of days performed for a Member State exceeds the planned work days due to additional, ad-hoc activity requests, a value of 100% is recorded for that State; and (b) if zero days were planned for a Comments: Member State, the country’s contribution is excluded from the average calculation, rather than accounting zero. This method avoids a misleading deflation or inflation of the average. With a target for undertaking 80 percent of the recommended Annual Work Programs implemented by PASO member states, implementation rates average 68.7% (2014); 49.9% (2015); 61.7% (2016), 80.1% (2017), 88.8% (2018), and (76.4%) in 2019.
