The project tasks this year include planning and designing the qualification requirements and systems for audit and certification groups and personnel, developing the tender documents and strategies for the audit and certification group program, supervising audit and certification groups, conducting external audits on audit and certification groups, auditing the funding of audit and certification groups, and assisting local agencies in promoting resource recycling. Regarding planning and designing the qualification requirements and systems for audit and certification groups and personnel, this project collected and studied related management regulations in the environmental protection field, completed the planning of qualification requirements, and proposed amendments to the provisions of the audit and certification practices. This project also planned to conduct common courses and training at the Environmental Professionals Training Institute to establish a comprehensive education and training system. As for developing the tender documents and strategies, this project proposed four tenders (nine projects included), conducted research and revised the recommended common version of the tender document, and organized a supplier solicitation meeting to increase suppliers’ participation opportunities and improve the contract management measures. Regarding supervising audit and certification groups and external audits, to ensure that the audit and certification groups comply with the contract and regulations to implement audit practices, this project organized eight meetings related to supervision, eight control center audits, eight evaluations, 40 audits, 16 on-site external audits, eight control center external audits, and eight funding audits. These activities were to understand the actual implementation of the audit and certification groups and to enhance the management effectiveness of the audit and certification groups. To assist in promoting resource recycling, this project compiled data on resource recycling and assisted in local resource assessment and counseling.
