1. rhe African Institute for Economic 'Development and Planning .(IDEP) was established by resolution 93 (VI) of the Economic CQmmi.ssion fQr 1\frica, Ipld its statuta

_"'ilia>.bV

cesolution 320 (XIII) adoz;>ted at the fourth meeting of the ,Cs>nferenceof l:lini!iters 'of·oc....:held at Xinshasa in l'~ch 1 9 7 7 . ,

.- - , . .

2. The Institute has contributi9d''and continues to cQntr:j.bjlte

to

the training of a large number of African specialists in the field of economic and soelal planning with a view to accelerating the economic and social development of the continent.

3. IDEl? entered the third five-'year phase of its activities as on 1 January 1978 the date on ,~ich EGA took over from the then office

om

Technical eo-operation the role of executing agency. This phase also coincides "ith the ilqplementation of a two-year programme of training requested by the 11inisters at their meeting in Kinshasa in i'Jarch 1977.

~. The t~1O main sources of finance for the Institute are the contributions of . member States an,l the UNDP contribution. rhe contribution of States was

fixed at $ 1 million a year by Conference of Ministers resolution 237 (XII) adopted in Nairobi in 1975. lJNDP has committed itself to making a contr~ution

of $ 800,000 ~naually until 1981.

5. The most important financial problem facing the Institute at the moment arises from the non-::>ayment or very late payment of the contributions by certain meml:ler States. This situation has lately reached crisis proportions with the planning of substantive activities having to

be

limited to very short time- spans with frequent reviews according to the rate of payment of contributions.

Inoavitably, this has produceu an adverse impact on the training programmes, especially since the full ill\Plementation of the two-year progranune requested

by th~ ilinisters in Kinshasa involves a coc,'mitment for the two"year period, ',;hile the contributions are made on annual basis. There is thus an urgent need to rectify this financial situation so as to enable the Institute to irn91ement its programmes in a normal

manner. ^'C"
