APPENDIX 7

23. In order to ensure, in the interests of the area, the best use of resources available, a contributing Government will, in the normal course, be expected to bear, to the fullest extent possible, as a charge against its contribution to the Scheme, the costs of basic salaries of persons whom it makes available under the Scheme, and the Government to whom expeits are made available will, in the normal course, be expected to bear, to the fullest extent possible, the local costs of the experts, including subsistence and travelling. 24. In order to assist co-operating countries to secure training for personnel additional to that already available from existing sources, the co-operating countries will normally accept personnel for training on the following basis: So far as practicable the country from which the trainees are sent will defray the costs arising in respect of the trainees in their own country; and, so far as practicable, the Government of the country providing training will bear all costs of training arising within its own territories, including allowances for the maintenance of trainees. 25. The allocation of costs suggested in paragraphs 23 and 24 is intended only as a pattern for the guidance of co-operating Governments and these provisions do not in any way detract from the clear understanding that in every case such arrangements will be solely a matter for the Governments concerned as provided in paragraph 22. 26. Governments will make special efforts to encourage the training of personnel in the trainee's own country, and for this purpose other co-operating Governments will devote as large a proportion of their contribution as is practicable to provide teaching staff and material facilities. 27. Any co-operating Government may, as a contribution under the Scheme, offer to defray the costs of obtaining technical assistance or training facilities, including endowment of existing institutions, in any other country. In the event that the facilities needed to satisfy an application for technical assistance cannot be provided because they are only available either in a country whose Government's contribution to the Scheme is exhausted or in a non-participating country, the Council shall endeavour to arrange for the costs to be met from the uncommitted part of the contribution offered by other co-operating Governments, bearing in mind the desirability of maintaining reasonable equality in the extent to which contributions are fully utilised. 28. Costs met by a co-operating Government in respect of technical assistance received by it will not be regarded as a contribution under the Scheme. 29. To ensure an adequate record of the progress of the Scheme and also of the appropriate distribution of the expenses incurred, the Council will keep accounts of the expenditure incurred by each co-operating Government under the Scheme. For this purpose each co-operating country will forward a periodical statement to the Director showing, for the period in question, particulars of the expenditure incurred and chargeable under the Scheme.
