INTRODUCTION

In September, 1992, a group of nineteen senior African women policy makers in education gathered at the Rockefeller and Study Centre Conference, Bellagio. They were drawn together by a common concern, the poor status of female education in Africa.

Participants still recall the memorable opening remarks made by convenor Fay Chung: We are not here to flatter ourselves about the positive achievements made in the education sector over the past decades; nor are we here to sink into a mood of despair because of the constraints facing the participation of females in education and national development. We are here to search for practical, manageable interventions that will realistically help to ameliorate the present situation.

We are not helpless as a group. We need to have a vision of where we want to go, realising that each day, there is something positive we can do.

The creation of the Forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE) was constructed from the staunch belief that women in decision making positions have the potentialto make a significant difference. However, in order for them to make such difference, it was necessary to put into place a mechanism that would enable these ministers, vice-chancellors and prominent educationalists to talk to each other, share views, exchange experiences, explore alternatives and pool their intellectual resources constantly.

The formation of a network was clearly a priority, a body that would support members and their institutions, strengthening their capacity for influencing policy making and policy shaping.

There was unanimous agreement on the "Think Tank" and "Pressure Group" roles of FAWE aimed at

* * *

* * *

generating good ideas and original data to be used in planning interventions, designing and supporting replication of cost-effective demonstrative programmes and innovations, supporting research collection, assembling and dissemination of information and ensuring the feedback of research findings into policy and action, influencing policy decisions affecting female education towards increased participation, monitoring what is happening and acting as watchdog for sustained progress, undertaking social mobilisation and advocacy for girls' education at all levels of society,

•

creating linkages with other organisations and promoting the efforts of those involved in accelerating girls' education, mobilising resources for girls' education.

FAWE gained legal status as an international NGO registered in Kenya in June 1993 closely followed by donor support from the Rockefeller Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation and the lORC that ensured the establishment of a modest secretariat in Nairobi and preparation of the first work programme for 1994.

The high motivation of FAWE members was clearly demonstrated by the large number of project proposals submitted to the secretariat within the first six months of FAWE's registration. The FAWE Technical Committee of experts had its first meeting in February 1994 and approved 14 out of 20 project proposals under FAWE's competitive grants programme.

Further meetings of members - Executive Committee and Second General Assembly, and interactive meetings with members of the DAE, Working Group on female Participation in Education in Africa, helped to sharpen the FAWE vision and to clarify its miSSIOn. 1994 was a year of intense activity including the creation of FAWE national chapters, design and implementation of various interventions, production of various advocacy and media material, FAWE representation at relevant fora and the l:realion of a male affinity group.

In October, 1994, FAWE was awarded the Comenius Medal by the Director general of UNESCO Mr Frederico Mayor in recognition of its contribution in the field of educational innovation in Africa. This award is a constant reminder of the high expectations created by FAWE and the need for members to meet them.

The high tum-over of education ministers and vice-chancellors in Africa has led to a rethinking of FAWE of membership because of the need to ensure in built sustainability especially at the national level. FAWE national chapters had been created by the end of 1994.

Some of them have effectively put girls' education on the national agenda. FAWE members are in particular gratified by the support demonstrated by their male colleagues in Africa and the latter's willingness to promote female education in their countries.

Hon Gennet Zewide, Minister of Education, Ethiopia took over as FAWE Chairperson in November, 1993 from Hon Fay Chung formerly Minister of Education, Zimbabwe who moved to UNICEF, New York as the Chief, Education Cluster.

FAWE looks forward to 1995 as a year of consolidation and clearer demonstration of its policy making and shaping mission.

BACI(GROUND

2.1

The Forum for African Women Educationalists was created in September 1992. It is characterized by a partnership of 34 women cabinet ministers and women vice-chancellors of universities and other selected senior women policy makers who assume leadership for education planning and implementation in their countries. Born out of discussions between African ministers and donor agency representatives of the Donors to African Education (DAE), FAWE has built a strong operational base from which to address female education as it relates to long-term economic development and its centrality and urgency in education sector planning.

FAWE's structure, through its General Assembly and Executive Committee, brings together women policy makers from 24 countries, with a demonstrated commitment to the philosophy of self-reliance, to confront female education problems specific to their geographic region. Together, they have developed an innovative work programme and modality for collaborative activity. FAWE has also extended its base to include as associate members male ministers of education who have a growing awareness of and commitment to the education of African girls. FAWE chapters are already making impact in advocacy and public education.

The founding members ofFAWE recognize, however, that while ministers of education must be on board because they control the allocation of resources within the sector, education outcomes are affected by a variety of other actors whose views need to be included in the dialogue. Traditional leaders, teachers, NGO workers, researchers, business people -- male and female -- playa key role in determining access and performance. To broaden the consultation process, FAWE has expanded its membership by initiating National Chapters (14 to date) which bring together concerned people to address issues that eventually must and only can be dealt with at the local level.

FAWE is registered as an international, non-profit organization with headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya Price Waterhouse Associates Limited oversees its financial management and reports to the FAWE Executive Committee twice a year.

The creation of FAWE is a testimony to the dynamism of African women policy makers who, despite tough challenges, are taking up the cause of female education to advance the development of their nations. Within the short period of its operation, FAWE has gained recognition at both national

9

and international levels as an African self-established organization which is demonstrating its ability to move policy, stimulate experimentation on the ground, and reach beyond advocacy to the tough economic analysis needed to expand access and upgrade education quality in stagnant financial times.

2.2 MISSION STATEMENT

- - - - The mission of FAWE is to ensure that gender equity is in-built in all educational policies; firstly by ensuring that education policies are implemented in a way that ensures gender equity and that where imbalances persist, positive and affirmative action is taken to redress these and secondly by encouraging continuous and rigorous debate on, and review of, all social policies because they impinge on how education policy is implemented.

2.3 FAWE1S OBJECTIVES - - - - Overall Objective FAWE's overarching goal is mutual assistance and collaboration in developing national capability to accelerate the participation of girls and women in education at all levels in Africa in line with Education For All (EFA) goals.

Specific Objectives Although EFA goals are clear, implementation strategies are not. Since the initiation of the EFA movement in 1990, many countries have made significant progress both in accelerating overall enrolments and closing the education gap between boys and girls. In contrast, Africa is on a slow path of growth and continues to lag severely behind every other part of the World.

FAWE sees its specific objectives as follows: •

• • • • •

To reinvigorate political commitment to EFA goals by emphasizing that fully two thirds of missing eligible school children are female.

To stimulate governments, donors and NGOs to increase their investment in education, especially in a manner that can accelerate the education of girls at the primary level and beyond.

To gather existing data to design high-impact programmes taking into account the special needs offemale students and teachers.

To help NGOs expand their support of female education.

To build public awareness through media of the social and economic advantages of sending girls to school.

To promote women's leadership and public policy-making skills within education through targeted capacity-building programmes.

The challenge facing FAWE is how to use very limited financial resources to achieve its goals by developing a realistic scope of activities and sequencing them in such a way that they carefully build on one another and allow success to trigger expansion.

3 PROGRAMME HIGHLIGHTS ----:3,.......,--.1 FORTIFICATION AND EXPANSION

- - - OF FAWE MEMBERSHIP

a) FAWE Meetings During 1994 FAWE held two meetings of the Executive Committee in June (Bellagio) and in October (Geneva), and the second General Assembly of members in June (Bellagio) which brought together over 80 percenl of the total membership. Besides reviewing progress in the implementation of the 1994 Work Programme, discussion at these meetings emphasized the policy-making and shaping mandate of FAWE and the need for activities that are clearly demonstrative of this role. Members approved pilot work in the area of strategic resource planning and the establishment of a practical methodology for gathering baseline information through the use of a national score card. Members recognized the urgent need for expanding FAWE membership through the creation of FAWE National chapters (FAWE-NCs) and a male affinity group, which have potential for significant contribution to the FAWE mandate. At the General Assembly, FAWE members launched the Agathe Uwilingiyimana Memorial Trust Fund to be used in promotion of girls' education in Africa. b) FAWE National Chapters (FAWE-NCs) Twelve FAWE members including Seychelles, Burkina Faso, Zimbabwe, Ghana, Cameroon, Malawi and Guinea formed and registered FAWE-NCs while two others - Zambia and Kenya were in the process of registering theirs as the year ended. These NCs are made up of women and men from a wide range of professions and educational background with potential for playing a leading role in implementing fAWE supported activities at the national level. For example, FAWE-NC activities include review of educational policy for gender responsiveness and monitoring of implementation (Uganda), implementation of a bursary scheme for poor girls (Zimbabwe); design of and implementation of a pilot alternative education programme for girls out-of-school (Burkina Faso); advocacy and public education aimed at gaining consensus on female education issues (Ghana and Uganda) and gender training and sensitization (Seychelles). FAWE-NCs also provide II

for expanded networking and sharing of experiences through organization of meetings and dissemination of information at the local level.

FAWE-NCs have mobilised their own resources to undertake these activities. They can also apply to FAWE for assistance under the competitive grants programme. FAWE-Ncs have been identified as essential facilitators for the implementation of the Agathe Uwilingiyimana Awards for Innovators due for launching during 1995. FAWE- cs activities respond to unique needs at the country level and, therefore, vary from country to country. c) FAWE Male Affinity Group The male ministers group was the outcome of the Ministerial Consultation on School Drop Out and Adolescent Pregnancy under the theme: Counting the Cost held in Mauritius in September, 1994. It was attended by 16 African male ministers of education who resolved to personally initiate action aimed at curbing the rate of drop out, results of which they would report in a year's time. Many of them attended the October DAE Female Participation in Education Working Group meeting held in Geneva, where they not only expressed support for FAWE but also their desire to report the progress of their own activities at the DAE African Ministers Caucus in October, 1'1'15. The consultation was an important eye opener on the seriousness of drop-out in African education. Follow-up to the consultation reveals that a number of Ministers have initiated efforts towards policy changes on school drop-outs, especially girls.

3.2

STRATEGIC RESOURCE PLANNING a) During 1994, FAWE took several steps to create essential linkages between research and education policy-making. In Uganda, the Forum provided support for the Uganda Association of University Women to review the government's White Paper on Education, put it through a gender screen, subject it to public debate and secure the support of 23 women members of Parliament including the minister in charge of women's affairs (who now combines that role with her new appointment as Vice-President of Uganda), and then the support of the minister of education for radical revisions, now under consideration by Parliament, in favour of girl children. This exercise provided for a study of the formulation of gender issues as they relate to national education policy. In Kenya, a National Task Force on Gender Issues in Education was created which aims to monitor policy implementation with particular reference to school drop-outs, allocation of bursaries and support to girls' participation in Maths and Science. b) The Forum commissioned Prof Christopher Colclough from the Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex, England, to design and implement, with national teams, pilot initiatives in strategic resource planning in three African countries - Tanzania, Guinea and Ethiopia. This capacity-building exercise is centred around a FAWE-commissioned conI2

cept paper, "Under-enrolment and low quality in African primary schooling: Toward a gender-sensitive solution," which argues that while strong imbalances between male and female enrolment are best understood as demand-side phenomena, policies on the supply side to improve the quality and quantity of schooling available, as well as reduce its cost to households, are vital for expansion of female enrolment. The pilot cases are expected to demonstrate that considerable cost-effective policy reforms are possible within existing education-sector resources. c) FAWE also commissioned a consultant, Dr Ben Makau to develop a draft National Score Card to establish education baselines and benchmarks on a comparative basis in FAWE countries. This is now under revision fOllowing review by FAWE members and will be pre-tested in several countries during 1995.

3.3

EXPERIMENTATION AND DEMONSTRATION a) Under its competitive demonstration programme, FAWE offers support for innovative pilot initiatives that can influence female education and reform education policy. The idea is to stimulate experimentation in order to find local measures to improve school access, academic achievement, teacher training, school safety, school equipment, and financial management, among other objectives. The programme involves an international technical committee which reviews and helps to revise proposals and monitors progress. During 1994, the programme supported 14 projects including strengthening girls participation in maths and science (Kenya), combining provision of bursaries and fees subsidies with appropriate social support from the school, community and parents (Zimbabwe) design and implementation of an alternative education programme for girls' out-of-school (Burkina Faso) strengthening the capacity of teachers for gender sensitivity in responding to the needs of their pupils (Seychelles) and design and implementation of an effective multi-media advocacy and public education programme (Ghana). The impact of each activity will be determined at each stage of implementation. b) Out of its demonstration grants programme, FAWE initiated the first of a planned series of co-financed projects intended to stimulate the consideration of gender issues into the activities of various DAE working groups.

The Commonwealth Secretariat, lead agency for the DAB Working Group on the Teaching Profession was provided with a grant to support identification of women's concerns and their integration into the Teacher Management and Support Programme currently being undertaken in several pilot countries in Africa. Gender issues with regard to teacher recruitment, conditions of service, leadership in teachers' unions, and sexual harassment in the classroom are highlighted. The Forum is reviewing other donor projects

IJ

for co-finance as a way of influencing donor strategies and priorities. FAWE was involved in drawing up the draft Terms of Reference for the exercise and in the selection of a consultant, Dr Sheila Wamahiu, who will spearhead the process and ensure gender sensitization of all pilot country teams. c) FAWE Partnerships: African Academy of Sciences, Education Development Institute, Commonwealth Secretariat. FAWE participated in explorations with two new sub-committees of the DAE working Group on Female Participation. The first, led by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), is focused on enlisting the cooperation of NGOs in promoting female education. The second, led by the orwegian Agency for Development Cooperation ( ORAD), aims at strengthening girls' participation in Science and Maths education. FAWE has joined in consultations with both groups and is helping to develop the work plans to be implemented during 1995. d) FAWE commissioned a consultant, Betsy Biemann, to examine existing innovators' award programmes in different parts of the world in various fields and propose an appropriate design for the FAWE awards scheme.

Following preparation of a first draft, consultatIve discussions were held with the FAWE Executive Committee and a design has now emerged which will be pilot tested early in 1995 by four FAWE-NCs.

3.4

THE AGATHE UWILINGIYIMANA PRIZE: AWARDS FOR INNOVATORS IN FEMALE EDUCATION FAWE's new innovators awards scheme will highlight local innovations that improve girls' enrolment and performance and introduce viable strategies to policy-makers, donors, and educators. The programme is intended to build an important bridge between local experimentation and broad-based policy change. The prize which is named after FAWE member Agathe Uwilingiyimana, former Prime Minister of Rwanda who was murdered last April in Rwanda's civil war, will be given annually to individuals or organizations whose programmes have taken a significant step toward reducing key obstacles to female education.

During 1994, FAWE commissioned consultant Betsy Biemann to examine existing innovators' award programmes in different parts of the world in various fields and propose an appropriate design for the FAWE awards scheme. Individuals can be working in GOs or a government institution at the local level. In cases, where more than one individual has been instrumental to the programme's success, the organization rather than one individual will be honoured. Each laureate will receive a financial award (US $5,000 for an individual and US $10,000 for an institution) to be used to further the aims of the programme submitted for consideration.

I4

In order to ensure that the lessons of these innovations are widely shared, laureates will be celebrated with presentations and events in their own countries and invited to speak at a regional conference during the year of the award. Together with a FAWE-NC sponsored writer, they will author a profile of the programme which the FAWE-NC will disseminate to all FAWE members, NGO networks, representatives of the DAE and other organizations in the education field. The programme will be administered by the FAWE-NC and monitored by the FAWE Executive Committee. During the 1995 pilot phase, awards will be given in each of four countries representing the diversity of the continent.

3.5

ADVOCACY AND PUBLIC INFORMATION a) Ministerial Consultation on School Drop-out Concerned with soaring rates of school attrition, and the need for urgen action to curls this trend, FAWE organized a high-level inter-ministerial consultation on school drop-out and adolescent pregnancy, held in Mauritius in September, 1994 under the theme "Counting the Cost." Co-hosted by Mauritius' minister of education Hon Amoorgum Parsuramen, who also serves as chair of the DAE African Ministers Caucus, the meeting was attended by 84 participants and stimulated an unusually open discussion of the politics and biases constraining national action on school drop OUI and adolescent pregnancy. Impressed by the proceedings and the seriousness of the problem, the 16 male ministers and three male permanent secretaries present pledged to report to FAWE al the 1995 DAE African Ministers' Caucus meeting the progress of their own activities aimed at reducing school drop-out in their countries. Several are already preparing proposal submissions to FAWE's competitive demonstration grants for country-level interventions.

b) Other Meetings During 1994, FAWE co-hosted several conferences on the education of girls and women in collaboration with DAE members, UN Agencies and NGOs.

i) Seminars on Girls' Education: As a follow up to the Pan African Conference on Girls' Education held in March/April 1993 in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, the Economic Development Institute (EDI) World Bank invited FAWE to co-host IWO regional seminars aimed at assisting senior policy-makers, including ministers of education and key operational staff, through the process of problem analysis and identification of appropriate interventions. The first seminar held in January 1994 in Dakar, Senegal brought together over 35 participants from eight Sahel ian countries (Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Gambia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Senegal, Chad) and thirty observers/participants and resource persons. The second one for Anglophone Africa was held in May 1994 in Nairobi, Kenya and attended by 35 participants representing Uganda,

I5

Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Eritrea, Ghana, Nigeria and Zambia. For each seminar, FAWE members were key facilitators.

The Seminars have triggered off additional interest in girls' education at the national level and some countries have already drawn up folIow-up plans of action. It is anticipated that countries wilI use these plans in their negotiations with bilateral donors for increased now of resources to girls' education. More importantly, they should maximize the use of existing internal resources fo increased alIocation to female education. ii) GO Preparatory Activities Towards the Africa Regional Conference on Women: Dakar 1994 and Fourth U.N. Conference on women, Beijing September, 1995 FAWE assumed leadership in coordinating activities of African NGOs involved in education during preparations for the Africa Regional Preparatory Conference on Women held in Dakar in November, 1994. Over sixteen NGOs were involved in this process which culminated in a widely acclaimed one-day workshop on the education of girls and women in Africa co-hosted with UNICEF which brought together over 300 participants from 25 African countries. The workshop provided an opportunity for reviewing emerging strategies for accelerating female education and formulating guidelines for enriching the African input into the World Conference on Women to be held in Beijing in September, 1995. The Arican Platform of Action emerging from the intergovernmental conference renected most of the recommendations of this one day worshop. c) Materials Production During 1994, FAWE was involved in the production of widely disseminated media materials in English and French on girls' education in Africa including; •

• •

• •

Commissioning award winning film-maker Michael Camerini to produce a documentary film entitled "These Girls are Missing" scheduled for release at the World Conference on Women, Beijing.

A bi-annual newsletter in English and French with a circulation of over 3,000.

A series of Working Papers and various publications covering key issues in the education of girls in Africa including historical profiles ofAfrican Women (see Appendix 8) Production of a musical tape entitled "Send your Girl Child to School" in English and French, for radio distribution.

Publication of a gender booklet entitled "Girls and African Education: Research and Action to keep Girls in School" for wide distribution in Africa.

d) During 1994, FAWE also supported several activities aimed at public education and focused sensitization on gender issues in education. FAWE also supported a survey aimed at the identification of African based gender studies programme towards the establishment of a proposed African Gender Institute at the University of Cape Town, South Africa.

I.

Under the competitive grants programme, FAWE provided a grant to the SeychelIes Association of Women Professionals (SAWOP) for initiating gender

I6

sensitization in the education sector SAWOP commission Gender Training experts from FEMNET' to facilitate the training and sensitization of 40 participants from the Seychelles Ministry of Education, the institutions of higher learning, the media, education administrators, etc and training a team of trainers who have been undertaking follow up gender sensitization of other categories of personnel. The sensitization was aimed at improving portrayal of women and gender roles in educational materials and increasing girls' participation in non-traditional careers through better counselling and provision of role models. ii.

FAWE commissioned a Needs Assessment Survey for the integration of gender concerns in Teacher Training Programmes and also supported the production of a manual ''The ABC of Gender Analysis" for assessing gender responsiveness of existing textbooks. The Manual was tested in Kenya and Malawi and found to be extremely helpful.

iii.

Under the same programme, FAWE provided a grant to the University of Cape Town in support of a consultative process on gender studies programmes in Africa and the viability of a proposed African Gender Institute. The Institute is planned to provide for targeted capacity building and leadership programmes for the promotion of women in leadership and public policy making. A report on the consultative process will be the subject of discussion at a workshop scheduled for May, 1995 in Cape Town.

4 INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION

In October, 1994 UNESCO awarded the Forum the Comenius Medal -a global prize created in 1992 by the Czech government to recognize outstanding achievement in the field of educational innovation -along with $100,000 toward FAWE's programme of work. Within FAWE, this recognition is linked to the potential of the young organisation for rekindling interest in and mobilising towards Education For All and female education in particular. It is a big challenge to FAWE members.

7 CONCLUSION

The first year of FAWE operations was exciting in demonstrating the capacity and potential of FAWE members for initiating appropriate interventions and mobilising relevant partnerships for accelerating female education in Africa. [t was also illustrative in the way the network evolved effective strategies for coping with frequent changes in membership and for creating sustainability in view of inevitable changes. Viable administrative mechanisms were set in motion for ensuring appropriate and fair project reviews

and grant processing. Programmatic priorities emerged that place FAWE in an unchallengeable position because they focus on the strength of women policy makers in education while at the same time drawing on the strengths of other partners for combined impact. FAWE has in particular managed to attract high level competent technical personnel whose in-put into the FAWE programme has ensured innovation and freshness in tackling problems of female participation in education. FAWE members looks forward to an even more fruitful 1995 for building even stronger partnerships with national governments, NGOs, donors, individuals and communities as they strive to ensure increased access, retention, performance and quality education for girls in Africa.

REPORT OF THE AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF FORUM FOR AFRICAN WOMEN EDUCATIONALISTS

I 1 We have audited the financial statements on pages 27 to 33 and have obtained all the information and explanations considered necessary for our audit.

The financial statements are the responsibility of the management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.

These standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurances as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, proper books of account have been kept by the organisation and the financial statements, which are in agreement therewith, give a true and fair view of the organisation's state of affairs at 31 December 1994 and of its income and expenditure for the 17 months period ended on that date.

FORUM FOR AFRICAN WOMEN EDUCATIONALISTS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE 17 MONTHS PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 1994 1. ORGANISATIO AND NATURE OF ACTIVITIES The Forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE) is a non-governmental organisation which was founded in 1992 by African Women Ministers of Education, women vice-chancellors and prominent women educationalists. The Forum's objectives as to initiate policy debate, advocate and promote female education, and mobilize resources to support female education in African in line with Education For All (EFA) goals.

The need for the Forum arose because past experience had proved that:(i) female education is closely associated with significant improvement in family welfare, health of children, lower fertility rates "nd increased opportunities in self employment; (ii) education can be a powerful tool in empowering women to increasingly participate in the decision making process.

The principal sources of funds for FAWE during the period are as outlined in Note 5.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The Forum prepares its financial statements on the historical cost basis of accounting. (b) FIXED ASSETS DEPRECIATION Fixed assets are written off through the income and expenditure account in the year of acquisition. A fixed assets register is maintained to keep control over them. (c) GRANTS Grants received during the year and those received shortly after the year end, which related to the year, are accounted for as income in that year.

Donations are accounted for when received.

FINANCIAL REPORT TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE OF FORUM FOR AFRICAN WOMEN EDUCATIONALISTS

We have reviewed the income and expenditure report for FAWE for the year ended 31 December 1994. We confirm that the attached unaudited income and expenditure report is in agreement with the books of account.

In accordance with the terms of our engagement, we prepared the unaudited account by extracting the figures from the accounting records and making appropriate enquiries from the Finance and Administration Officer.

This work is substantially less in scope than an examination in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Explanations for variances Work Programme Included in the budget for work programme is US$ 30,000 for International travel. Of this, only US$ 3,700 has been incurred. International travel expenses will be incurred in year II (1995) when many of the funded projects will be in operation.

US$ 40,000 was budgeted for DAE forum participation. However, only US$ 14,000 was charged to FAWE as a number of donors including NORAD, DAE Secretariat and the World Bank met all the other forum expenses.

The budget for lines of work amounted to US$ 653,000 while only US$ 375,000 had been expended by 31 December 1994. The budgets were based on the total expenses

J8

expected to be incurred for the projects. However, many of the projects run for over one year or are for a fiscal year which does not match FAWE's financial year. Consequently, at year end, significant funds budgeted to be expended on these projects had not been utilised. FAWE's projects that the fund balances will be fUlly utilised in 1995.

In a number of instances, the first tranche of funds had been made to the grantee. However, the grantee had not accounted for the funds or sent a progress report as required in FAWE grant agreements and this was delaying the release by FAWE of additional funds.

Administration FAWE purchased fixed assets for US$ 72,000 (budget US$ 3,(00).

The budget overrun is due to a timing difference.

Because of delays in the registration process, the secretariat was not operational until August 1993. Consequently, commitments were made for purchase of fixed assets in 1993 but the assets were received and paid for in 1994.

5.

FU DS COMMI'ITED BUT OT RECEIVED UNESCO.!Jad contracted to grant FAWE US$ 50,000. By 31 December 1994, this had riot been received.

6.

UNPAID OBLIGATIONS ON PROGRAMMES At 31 December 1994, FAWE had committed to giving grants to a number of projects. However, the grant dates fall due in 1995. The grant funds commuted but not yet disbursed at year end analyse as follows:Programme
