INFORMATION PAPER ON THE SPECIAL FUND ACTIVITIES IN

Al~rrICA

(Prepared by the United Nations Special Fund)

1. The present paper constitutes a pro6ress report on Special Fund acti- vities in Africa. Previous information papers on this subject were

presented to the Economic Commission for Africa at its third and fourth sessions

(E/CN.14/76

and

E/CN.14/156).

• 2. The Special Fund continues to devote an increasinf;$ share of its limited financial resources to projects in Africa. In

1959,

the Governing Council approved the first six projects for Africa, an~

9

.per cent of the total funds earmarked b~· the Council in that year was allocated to these pro-

jects.

By

May 1962, a total of sixty-five projects had been approved for the re~ion, accounting for 26 per cent of the total project funds autho- rized by the Governin~.Councilup to that time. Details of these projects are given in the Annex to this paper. It will De seen that the projects are to be carried out in twenty-one countries and territories in Africa.

3•.

Inall,the sixty-five' projects are estimated to cost the equivalent of approximately ~125 million, of which $54 million are b~ing provided by the Special Fund and $11 million by the recipient gover~en1~_ Twenty-three of these projects are for the execution of resource surveys and feasibility studies, ten for the organization of applied research centres, and thirty- two for the establishment of trainin~ and technical education institutes, including mine secondary school teacher-training institutes. In addition, a large.number of African countries are participa tin6' in the Desert Locust Control Project, an inter-regional undertaking being assisted by the

Speoial Fund.

4.

The 1,~anaGin6' Director propo ses to recommend to the ninth sess.ion of the Governing Council, which meets in January

1963,

approval of eleven more projects for Africa, estimated to cost the equivalent of ap~roximately

$21 millioJ}. Thus, byth,e

begin~ing

^·o,f

^1963,

^Special Fund activities in Africa J:::';'~~ be expected to reach the equivalent of about _~152 million.

5.

Forty-two of :t_he.~_sixty~_~iV,~. proje.~,t8 approved thus,:far had become

o~e~ational by the end of October

1962,-

twenty-five prior to 1962 and

sev~ente~n in the,first nine mo:~~~,~ o~ that year. In the majority.of these , l?ro,ject s, operati~ns have started quite promptly and have progressed

satisfactorily, with tanbible results already achieved in a number of them.

One project, the Niger River Dam Survey in the Federation of Nigeria, has already been completed and the recommendations resulting from it are now • under study"by' the -Gotrernmeilt:~ ;" EXa.lnples -of the progr-ess b"~:"ng made in other African projects are given'in'the following paragraphs.

Experimental plantinb's of rice, sugar cane and fodder crops have. ,proved sufficiently promising to warrant makill6 preliminary plans to start a sugar industry, and to suggest that Ghana will be able to grow enough rice for its own -requirements~ .'This' proJect nill be completed in 19'6).

11

Following the conclusion of the ninth session of the Governing Council in January

1963,

a list of projects for Africa approved at that session will be circulated as an addendum to this document.

Another waterway, the River Nile, features lar6ely in a project to reclaim land from the desert frinoes in the United Arab Republic. Pre-

liminary soil burveys have been made of some 600,000 acres of the Nile valley with a view to planning the future use of the waters of the Aswan Dam for widespread irrigation. ~xtensive in-service training is being 5iven to local engineers workin6 with the international experts on this project in

~reparation for the continued need for 8~~illed personnel of this kind in the count ry^l s extensive land development programme.

9-

In Togo, a survey undertaken for 6eneral land development purposes yielded" an unexpected dividend - evidence of considerable beds of limestone which could prove to be an iuvaluable local source of materials for

construction work and ac;ricultural land improvement.

10. In Liberia, a comparatively young university has been strengthened by the addition of a Faculty of Agriculture with both educational and research responsibilities. Twenty carefully selected students have started their first courses and a system of in~ividual tutorin3 has been initiated.

Plans for a University ExperiQental Farm have also been cOQpleted.

11. Althou5h the Instructor and Foreman Training Centre in Senegal was started less than a year ago, all the neces3ary preparatory work had been completed by mid-1962 and the first trainin6 courses for higher supervisory personnel and for instructors in iniustrial establishments had Got under way.

12. Morocco, Tunisia and the United Arab Republic have recently established Civil Aviation Training Schools with" t~!e help of the Special Fund. These centres have already graduated 140 students in air traffic serv~ces,

navigation, maintenance of aircraft, flyinti and communications.

13.

In many of the new and emer6in5 nations~ the level of secondary education is so low as to be a "iilajor iIi.pediment to economic d.evelopment.

To a'-sei'st in remedying this 'situution the Governing Council has approved a

number

of secondary teacher-training institute projects in Africa in the

last

two years. Some four hundred teachers are already in training in

Cameroun, Ivory Coast, Nigeria and the Sudan, where the first four of these institutes were started. In Nigeria some 1,600 applications were

~-.- ' . .

received for the 160 plaoes in the College; complementary assistance is being provided under a bilateral programme. The Ivory Coast Institute

started modestly with a handful of students in January 1962 but a compe- titive entrance examination held in September was expected to produce so~e

thirty students for the preparatory year; in all, a total of seventy-five students at different stab8S of training were expected to be enrolled for the academic year 1962-63.

14- A unique" organization - the Public Administration Institute - has been set up in Ghana, with the help of Special Fund financin6' to train civil servants and to study problems of public administration in the new African states_ Twenty-one t::""'."n.c",';; were graduated from t'~) Institute at the end of its first academic year last June and most of them were expected to enter gcvernment service. In addition to the regular courses, special courses for senior civil servants were introduced in the curriculum for the present academic year.

15-

The above noted projects represent but the beginning of a continuing, fruitful collaboration between the nations of Africa and the Special Fund in the 'development of the human and natural resources of the continent.

Other equally useful projects are already under way.

16. Nevertheless, however encouraging the general outlook may be, it must be acknowledged that a number of projects are at present not being carried Qut as quickly and effectively as they should be.-

17.

^{It hardly} need~ 3mphasizing that if the projects are to benefit the recipient countries without delay, and if the Fundts limited resources are to be used to the best advantage, projects must start and finish on schedule.

Admittedly the start of operations has sometimes been delayed because the Executing A6ency could not find the right top-level expert,-

or

certain es- sential items of project equipment. But in most cases of undue delay~ it is unfortunately true that the cause was the failure of the recipient government to meet, in fuli and Oil schedule~ its obligation to provide the

E/CN.14/214

Page

5

requisites for project execution - buildings, supplies and, above all, the essential cadre of adequately trained counterpart personnel,

particularly at the senior technioal and administrative levels.

18.

The Managing Director recognizes tha' such facilities and trained manpower are often in very short supply but he firmly believes that these carefully selected projects~e of strategic importance in the development of the reoipient countries and therefore warrant the highest priority.

He is equally confident that the governments concerned, with the assistance of the Executing Agenoies and the Speoial Fund, will ensure that they

receive the necessary priority.
