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 the

Commission, 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,

a

budget 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

was

fixed 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 the

original allocation.

In this ease, the proportions of 2/3 raid

1/3

respectively for

U,i$*3,f, and African Government contributlons will have to he

clearly reversed to he able even to maintain current levels of operation,

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
