I - BACKGROUND
' '
•/ .' ~ î • i-'
1, From its inception, the Institute lias depended on two main sources ; contributions made by member Governments of the
Commission and allocations from the United Nations Development .
Programme, as laid down by Article Li of Resolution 93
(VI)
of theCommission, In practice, this lias meant that U.M.D.P. contributed v
two-thirds of the aiiount, with contributions of member Governments malting up the one-third, With the current annual budget of the
Institute amounting to £ 1,5 million, this means that the current annual contribution of tiember Governments works out to be a little
over half a million dollars, an arrangement which corresponds to the
formula for the financing of U,N,fl,P, projects,
2, (The designation of the institute as a U.N.D.P,
project, however, has meant that one could mot expect the financial
contribution of U.U.D.P, to continue indefinitely, the philosophy
of Special Fund Projects being that U.N.D.P. should assist with the financing for som agreed upon period after which the host
government^
should assume total responsibility# Indeed, in the Plan of Operations
for the first phase, U#M«B.P, had already requested that before the
end of that Phase the African Governments should draw up financial plans for the subsequent phases of the Institute.

Following thé U.îî,D.P,
Evaluation îhgport at thé end of
the first phaser thé African Governments
requested thé continuation
of U.li.Û.P. financial support sa the sono
formula fer another phase*
The latter requested a number of
referas 1a the operation of the
Institute as a condition fer the
continuation of its support. These
conditions (the appointment of a new
Director mà the cens ti tu tien
of an Académie Advisory Board te
assist in the determination of tierk
Programmes and the
running of acadeoic activities) having been ful¬
filled, U.H.D.P. agreed to
further financing and granted a two-year
budget to begin with/ and,
later,
abudget for another one year, all
at the same level as in previous years.
3, Towards the end
of the 2-year sub-phase of Phase II,
the U.N.fi.P* communicated to the
Institute that in view of its own
financial situation, it could not
continue its financial support to
the Institute at the level of a
million dollars a year as from
January 1474»
It therefore requested that alternative sources of
funds be sought to make up
reductions in its own contribution, fltis,
the Director of the Institute
has about succeeded in doing by raising
funds from bilateral sources to
roughly make up the shortfall in U*N«fi.P*
allocations for the remaining 2 years
of the present phase*
4. The financial
situation of the Institute has, never¬
theless, remained delicate
from several points of view, first, since
the level of the Institute's
budget
wasfixed ten years ago, there
has been considerable inflation
in Africa and elsewhere* This, coupled
with the successive dollar
devaluations of the past two years, has
led to a dramatic reduction of
the real value of the budget to no
more than two-thirds of its face
value. At the same time, the re¬
definition of the roles of the
Institute following the evaluation

connected with the loss than expected overall porfermanee .of the
African econofiiea aver the past deqado, has led te an objective
te expand activities, The resulting contradiction can only ho
resolved hp increasing the financial resources of the Institute
bo as to enable it to serve ail of the countries of the continent
in m ever more affective manner, Vm second viajar problem concerns the
Institute's future after this present phase. It is quite clear that unless present U«iî.D,?. financing trends ara reversed, it will fee
unrealistic ta evpest frail that soi.n*ee anything above the G.iUS,#,
allocation far 1£75, which is about
^
of theoriginal allocation.
In this ease, the proportions of 2/3 raid
1/3
respectively forU,i$*3,f, and African Government contributlons will have to he
clearly reversed to he able even to maintain current levels of operation,
5» After a very careful study by the Sound! of various
alternatives of financing, especially for the period beyond the
current phase of ï,fî»;S»F«, the Governing Council found the following
formula to be the best ; (a) That the African Governments double
their total contribution to an amount of $ I million a year,
(b) Allowing an overall increase in thé Institute's annual budget
during the 3rd phase by 250,000 to take ears of expansion of
activities (I.fi.E.P. now has only I/, professional staff) and price increases, this leaves the amount of C '/SO,000 to be raised through
other means. It is proposed here that this amount he made up by (i) request for grants from various doanors - teeth bilateral and
