Tho Sixth Conference of Permanent Heads of Agricultural and Livestock Production Services recommended chat these two projects "be merged Into one, so as to facilitate technical management, make Implementation more flexible, and enable funds to be used for the benefit of the rural community and smallholders In particular". This has been dono when drawing up the 1981-1983 budget. Ad hoc assistance was piovided in past years at the request of several Pacific iKlaiuln, but during the year 1980 the project cook on a regional scope and it is necessary to meet the need expressed by all or most of the countries in the region. The objectives are to increase copra production per unit of surface area, to improve copra quality and to promote economic ucilinntion of coconut by-products, as well as, where required, to develop or improve pastures under coconut.

Approved 1981 : 3,500 (XB) 4,500 4.000 Two such courses were held in 1980: in the Cook Islands in June, in Guam in November. Vanuatu expressed interest in a similar course; it is to be held in 1981. The 1982 course will be specifically devoted to atoll cultivation. These courscs arc always cxtroacly successful, for chey are very practical and of immediate benefit, to island farmers. It is anticipated that external funding will be provided from the Atoll I'rogrataae (Item 4302).

Countries' demands for vegetable and fodder seeds, cither for testing or for agricultural extension, remains strong and around the level of the financial provision of 100,000 CFP francs allocntcd up to 1980. Exchange of vegetal material also often takes place, in particular for fruit and traditional subsistence crops. It is highly desirable that financial provision be made in the 1982 budget for supply of vegetal material to countries in the region. No provision was made for 1981, but this type of project docs not lend itself to extra-budgetary funding.

2007 Sub-rortonal Training Course on Beef Cattle Approved 1980 : 4,000 Actual/Committed 1980 : 6,902

Approved 1981 : - - 4,500

A sub-regional training course on tropical pastures and beef cattle was held in Slgatoka, Fiji, in October 1980. Seventeen participants froa six countries in the region attended this course for which the two consultants were a veterinarian and an agronomist specialised in beef cattle. The participants were highly satisfied with the training provided. A similar course is proposed to be held in 1983 at the IRHO Station, Santo. The Vanuatu Government has already expressed its willingness to host consultants and participants for this type of training. At the 1981 Planning and Evaluation Cocalttee Meeting it was decided to defer this activity till 1983.

2008 Regional Technical Meeting on Tropical (New Item) * - - 13,000 Pastures and Beef Cattle Bocauso boef cattle production is steadily increasing in the region and because there are prospects for meat export to some countries with potentially high demand (e.g. Japan) it is very desirable to pool and circulate technical and economic data acquired in the Pacific islands and In ' ' Queensland. It is also advisable to co-ordinate research at regional level. The last meeting of this kind was held in Brisbane, Queensland, in May 1969* 1 *

2100 PLAWT PROTECTION

The objective of the SPC Plant Protection Programme is to provide assistance to governments in Identifying, investigating and controlling diseases, pests and weeds affecting agricultural crops. The Justification for this programme Is the prime Importance of agriculture In the region and the fact that average louses from diseases, pests and weed competition total about 35 per cent of potential production* quite apart from the additional losses occurring in utonigu and during distribution. The countries in the region have given very high priority to SPC plant protection activities and these activities are inextricably linked with agricultural products, rural development, nutrition and health, preservation of the environment and regional trade. The expected benefits from the Plant Protection Progracme are a better under-standing of the pests, diseases and weeds present in the region, an appreciation of the losses caused by them and improvements in methods for their control. ThiH is being brought about by the provision of information and advisory services Including publications, practical field work and country visits by the Plant Protection Officer and other specialists and training courses and regional workshops.

2101 South Pacific Commission Regional Plant Approved 1980 : Protection Service Actual/Committed 1980 :

Approved 1981 : - -As previously Indicated, the Second Regional Meeting on Plant Protection and the Co-ordinating Committee of the UNDP/FAO/SPEC regional meeting both recommended the establishment of such a service. This matter was deferred by the 1979 Planning and Evaluation Committee. The UNDP/ESCAP/SPC/SPEC meeting in February 1979 supported the establishment of a regional plant protection service with the objective of promoting trade in agricultural products. Both SPEC and SPC were seen as having roles, and govern-ment representatives saw the plant protection service to be a function to be executed by the South Pacific Commission. The 1979 Sixth Regional Conference of Permanent Heads of Agricultural and Livestock Production Services "took note of the previous submissions and recommended and reiterated the need expressed so many times earlier for improvement and strengthening of plant protection and plant quarantine services at both national and regional levels and the capability of SPC in this field". "Noting that UNDP has already approved a sum of US$200,000 for a preparatory assistance and that FAO has already been named as the UN executing agency for this preparatory assistance, and that SPC would be the natural partner for such execution, the Conference strongly recommended that both FAO and SPC Joined forces under the important Preparatory Assistance in order to initiate action to prepare a detailed and well-planned project document, and for this whole project to commence as soon as possible after its approval by FAO and UNDP respective headquarters. This recommendation is made with the understanding that this could be achieved in less than 12 months and that during the Preparatory Assistance period certain activities envisaged for the project could already be started." A US$1.000,000 project "Strengthening plant activities and plant protection in the Pacific" was approved by the 1980 UNDP/ESCAP Inter-country Prograssse meeting. The full project Is to start in 1982 and the Preparatory Assistance phase in 1981. Pending the -> establishment of the regional plant protection service under the aegis of SPC, the Plant Protection Officer will continue to provide advisory, clearing house and training activities. ,

Approved 1981 : (XB) - 11,000 11,000 Because pesticides are expensive and, to varying degrees, poisonous, it is Important for them to be used effectively and safely to protect both human life and the environment. To ensure their safe and efficient use in agriculture, training courses, teaching aids and advisory services in spraying, marketing and legislation are required. The German Volunteer Service indicated Interest in providing a volunteer to carry out these activities and the 1980 Planning and Evaluation Committee directed the Commission to seek the services of such a volunteer, providing there was no cost to the Commission. A German volunteer was available, but only if the cost of housing and Internal travel were met by the Commission. Bccauso of this requirement, funds were sought to cover this provision. The 1981 Planning and Evaluation Committee decided to defor this activity till 1983.

Approved 1981 s - - 12,000 12,000

These meetings have been approved on a biennial basis. The last meeting held was in 1980 and thus a further meeting is desirable. The continued emphasis by governments of the region on the need for regional crop protection and plant quarantine to promote production and trade in agricultural ^ and forestry products amongst participating countries, high-lights the need for such a meeting. To save costs, as In the past it will be held in conjunction with the Workshop on Pesticides, as recoonended by the ?lant Protection Committee for tho South East Asia and Pacific Region (PPC/SEAPR).The meeting will coincide with an ad hoc Pacific region working group of that committee. The last meeting of PPC emphasised the Importance of this working group. The 1981 Planning and 'j ' Evaluation Committee decided to defer this activity till 1963. * " .

Approved 1981 : (XB) - 12,000

This biennial activity is a most important and specialist aspect of control, and has particular relevance to island conditions. Atolls especially would rather rely on bio-logical than chemical controls, because of the pollution problems with pesticides in such environments. It is an activity which relies heavily on regional co-operation, and the first workshop in 1979 was an outstanding success. Unfortunately funds were not available in 1981 and no external funds have been obtained. Funds for a meeting in 1983 are now sought.

2107 Basic Plont Quarantine Training Course Approved 1980 : Actual/Committed 1980 :

Approved 1981 : - - 50,000 The Second Regional Meeting on Plant Protection recoaaended a course of 3 months' duration, which should be held for new recruits to plant quarantine services in the countries of the region. The idea was considered by the 1978 Planning and Evaluation Committee and the amount of 5,000,000 CFP frs. was set aside as a notional figure for 1981. Detailed planning still needs to be carried out. Other ways of carrying out the required training may be explored and outside funding will be needed. The Management Committee in 1980 recommended deferral until 1982. Because of budgetary constraints, deferral is now recommended until 1983.

Because they provide for scientific and technical identification, quality and colour control are extremely Important. Many other publications, including the Taro Pest and Disease Hand-book, a revised Pesticide Handbook, quarantine leaflets, information circulars and pesticide training aids have been published or are in preparation.

In the commentary on proposed posts given at page 101 of the Proposed 1981-1983 Work Programme it was noted that the Sixth Meeting of Permanent Heads of Agricultural and Livestock Production Services made the following recommendation: "In view of the importance of livestock production within the region, the Conference viewed with alarm the abolition of the post of Animal Production Officer in the South Pacific Commission and recognised the urgent need of the smaller member countries for the technical assistance of this officer. The Conference therefore strongly recommended the re-establishment and ocvrly recruitment of an Animal Production Officer -preferably nn experienced veterinarian - by the South Pacific Commission." The same cosanentary provided a lift of tho proposed activities as recommended by the Sub-regional Technical Meeting on Animal Health and Meat Inspection 1979. The 1981 Planning and Evaluation Committee decided to reconsider this Item in 1982.

Fisheries have traditionally been of prime importance in the diets and culture of all Pacific Islanders. The significance of fisheries has been fully appreciated by the South Pacific Commission, which has maintained an interest in all aspects. The Commission has provided n unique service in covering a great diversity of problens associated with subsistence, artisanal, commercial and international fisheries. Interest in fisheries in the Commission region continues to increase and is being met by: (a) providing technical advice and assistance to both governments

ami private individuals on all aspects of tropical fisheries; (b) arranging regional technical meetings on fisheries and work"

shops on specialised topics; (c) disseminating information on fish and fisheries throughout

the region. This includes the publication and distribution of the SPC Fisheries Newsletter, fisheries handbooks, the compilation of a fisheries directory of the South Pacific and numerous special reports and papers;

(d) providing practical demonstrations and training in fishing teclmiques such as those carried out by the Deep Sea Fisheries Development Project;

(e) providing descriptions of the resources of highly migratory species and of the baitflsh used to catch them. This includes provision of statistics on fisheries in each country's waters and estimation of interaction between fisheries;

(f) publishing reports on SPC fisheries projects (Deep Sea Fisheries Development Project, Skipjack Programme reports, specialists' reports, etc.);

<B) arranging consultancies. This includes selection of the appropriate experts, supervision and finallsatlon of reports;

(h) arranging training courses within the region and for participation of Pacific Islanders in training outside the region;

This project, initiated in March 1978, seeks to encourage the utilisation of deep bottom fisheries resources on outer reef slopes and sea mounts through the Introduction of simple and inexpensive gear and techniques. The project now employs three master fishermen who work independently, remaining in a particular country or location for two to three months. Local fishermen rccclvc on-the-job training not only in fishing tech-niques but also in boat and engine maintenance, safety at sea, and record keeping. During 1980, the project operated in Fiji, Kiribati, Palau, Tonga, Truk, Vanuatu, and Wallls and Futuna, bringing the total number of countries visited since the start of the project to twelve, several of them on more than one occasion. The catch rates achieved by the project have been excellent and In some cases spectacular. Local fishermen have shown a keen interest In the project and its success can be measured, in part, by the number of countries requesting a second visit by the project.

During the Twelfth Regional Technical Meeting on Fisheries, delegates expressed strong support for the continuation of the project and recommended that the scope of the project be expanded to include evaluation and demonstra-tion of other fishing techniques which could be used in conjunction with deep handlining, to allow artisanal flshemcn to further diversify their activities.

Approved 1981 1 (XB) (XB) (XB) (XB)

Deep bottom handline fisheries are developing rapidly throughout the region largely as a result of the success of the Deep Sea Fisheries Development Project. This quickening of interest in the deep bottom fishes is matched by an increasing concern that insufficient is known about these valuable resources to ensure that development proceeds in line with sound management principles. Little detailed Information exists on the size of these resources, the life history of the fish themselves, or the likely effect of increasing fishing pressure.

The Eleventh Regional Technical Meeting on Fisheries recommended that "the SPC consider a comprehensive pro-gramme to study the effects of the development of fishing on deep bottom fish resources". A survey pro-posal was approved for external funding by the 1960 South Pacific Conference in Port Moresby.

The 1960 Regional Technical Meeting on Fisheries, considering the scope of the project and the importance of the deep bottom resources, expressed concern that no provision had been made for the appointment of a suitably qualified scientist to carry out the proposed studies. The meeting considered this to be essential to the success of the project and recommended that "the SPC seek additional funda to this effect". A new staff position for this purpose has been requested under Item 3103.

3007 Fisheries Data Processing Approved 1980 : Actual/Committed 1980 :

Approved 1981 : (XB) (XB) (XB) (XB)

As in all fields of economic activity, sound development in fisheries requires the collection of statistical information. Most Important is knowledge of fishing effort and the size of the corresponding catch. A large part of the catch of occanlc species such as tunas with-in the 200-mile zones of the countries of the Commission area is taken by foreign fishing fleets. It is therefore difficult for individual countries to obtain, process and analyse the catch figures and other data which they need for fisheries negotiations. The importance of collection and analysis of fisheries data on a regional scale has been stressed many times,, most recently by the 1980 Regional Technical Meeting on Fisheries. A co-ordinated progranrae of fisheries data processing will give all Pacific countries access to modern data processing facilities and will enable accurate re-evaluation of all available statistics to Individual countries within the region. It will be run by an expert in fisheries data processing using the SPC computer. Part of the responsibilities of the data processing expert will be to supervise the collection and analysis of statistics on the deep bottom fish resources mentioned in item 3006. External funding has been sought.

To continue the development of fisheries In the region, increasing numbers of trained personnel are needed. Lack of trained manpower remains one of the most Important obstacles to fisheries development in the South Pacific. Various institutions, organizations and Flsherioa Divisions throughout the region can provide training and, where necessary, special courses tailored to tho needs of an individual country can be organized.

Following strong statements of support and satisfaction from countries who participated in the 1979 and 1980 Nelson Polytechnic Course In New Zealand, it is likely that this course, which is specially designed to cater to the needs of the South Pacific, will be reinstated in 1982.

However, the amalgamation of the meetings of the Expert Committee on Tropical Skipjack and the annual Regional Technical Meeting on Fisheries and the emphasis given to skipjack assessment at the Twelfth Regional Technical Meeting on Fisheries, end also proposed for the Thirteenth Regional Technical Meeting on Fisheries, has largely eliminated the need to hold a special training course on skipjack. It is therefore proposed that this itcn be cancelled.

The Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Progranme was fully described in the 1980-82 Work Progranme (SPConf.19/WP.2). Its aims are to provide adequate water outlets for domestic and sanitary use from piped or pumped supplies, or where appropriate improved rain water catchment, to small communities that currently have to obtain their water from afar, or which have inadequate supplies. Coupled with this will be the provision of improved type family water-seal latrines. This programme will represent the SPC participation in the UN International Decade of Drinking Water and Sanitation 1981~1990.

The scheme is essentially a self-help operation - the community providing voluntary labour, some local materials and the land required for wells, water tanks, pipelines, etc., the government providing an official counterpart executive officcr, technical assistance, Internal trans-portation and waiving import duty, and the SPC providing all equipment, imported materials, project design, technical assistance and advice. The US Agency for International Development has agreed to provide up to US$200,000 per year for the programme over a three year period 1981-83. The agreement between U.S. AID and SPC provides for two volunteers, one to be funded by U.S. AID and the counterpart to be funded by SPC. These volunteers will liave skills in plumbing, fitting, building, engineer-ing and will work with the people to implement the Rural Water Supply Programme, and will provide an on-the-job practical training input. The SPC counterpart will be obtained from a volunteer organization, and the funds required to meet basic costs are 1,100,000 CFP frs.

Many Pacific countries are rapidly increasing the connorclal production of poultry meat for home con-sumption and arc experiencing problems in connection with inspection, processing and marketing of the product. Fish constitutes a large proportion of the protoln diet of many of the Pacific island communities, and it is also becoming a major industry for many Pacific countries with increasing quantities being processed for export. Fish is a highly perishable commodity and particularly vulnerable to spoilage in tropical climates. The course would be designed to review the whole field of poultry meat production, and tho handling, storage, marketing and processing of fish, with a view to improving the knowledge of those officers who are Involved in food inspection and quality control. The 1980 Planning and Evaluation Conmittee recommended that this course also Include the requirements of personnel engaged in supervisory and regulatory duties relating to the control of foou processing establishments.

Now that many Pacific Islands have attained sizeable national herds of cattle and are slaughtering animals in abattoirs and slaughterhouaes, the utilisation of hides, bones, blood and other offal has become a profitable alternative to the wastage of these by-products by burning, burying and dumping at sea or in rivers with the consequent hazards of pollution, fly breeding, etc. Well flayed and properly preaerved hides fetch good prices on the export market, and there are also good marketa for tallow, bones and horns. The local production of bone and blood meal and hoof and horn meal can provide valuable import substitution for stock feed and fertilisers.

Tho couvae will provide instruction in the techniques of preparation and processing at the rural level. Provision Is sought for one or two courses.

The courses are intended for meat inspectors, health Inspectors, veterinary and agriculture assistants, butchers, etc., being persons holding an appropriate responsible position in a regulatory or super-visory position in the governments' agriculture or health services or In the meat trade. There is a demand for these courses among the meat producing countries of the region, and the Sub-regional Technical Meeting on Animal Health and Meat Inspection Services held in Apia in November 1979 strongly cossnended these courses and recoa-mended that SPC should continue to provide them. Earlier courses were funded from external sources, and it is anticipated sufficient residual funds will be available for one course in 1982. External funding will be sought in 1983 and 1984.

The object of the course is to provide police, customs, health and other personnel of sea and airport administrations with essential knowledge in the identification of drugs and methods of drug concealment to enable them to be more effective in drug detection work. The syllabus will be designed to cover, among other things, the identification of types of drugs, drug testing kits, methods of search, concealment techniques and detection, and exchange of Information.

The first course was held in Suva, Fiji, in October 1979, and the second was held in Noumea in March 1980. Both proved very successful, and the 1980 Planning and Evalu-ation Committee requested that another one be scheduled for 1981. This is being arranged. Further courses have been requested to provide an opportunity for more officers to undertake the training to keep pace with latest developments in the region, and to maintain liaison between tho responsible regional and inter-national authorities. The funding is nominal as it is considered, because of the considerable interest \ and benefit these courses have to countries outside the region, that extra-budgetary funding should be avallable.

Objectives The programme'8 objectives are:

- to umiiut Pacific Island governments to formulate and implement pollcleu by providing training of community development personnel working at administrative and policy levels, and by technical and ndvliiory services;

- to develop manpower, information and other resources for community education ond development services at national and regional levels through training of staff, development of clearing house services, and uHitlutancc in research in priority areas of community education and development;

- to give support for community service workers, particularly those concurned with community development, family and community health, and non-formal education, by providing guidance and information, developing and distributing appropriate teaching ond learning materials, and undertaking demonstration projects;

- to promote regional co-operation for the development of coranunity services through co-operation and exchange of information with other regional and international agencies.

Approach The programme is based on an integrated, multidiscipllnary approach which draws on n wide range of resources both from within SPC and elsewhere, and which 1h sufficiently flexible for Individual activities to be tailored tu meet the specific needs of different countries. A major part of the programme consists of basic, in-service training for field-level community development and extension officers working in women's activities, youth and adult education, rural development, health and home economics. Staff development and training programmes at policy, adminis-trative and supervisory levels arc designed to help governments provide effective administrative and technical support services to workers in the field. Assistance in the local development of training aids, materials and equipment helps to ensure that these are appropriate to Pacific Island needs and conditions. Information and clearing house services provide relevant information to people Involved in all levels of community work. Individual consultants or multidiscipllnary teams can be made available to assist governments.

Community Education Training These training programmes for village-level community workers aim to provide both practical skills in working with people and competence to provide Instruction In technical skills needed by local crrounities. By working with community groups with special interests,such as women's programmes and self-help groups, the programme alms to promote self-reliance among Poclflc Island communities.

Family and Community Health Services The SPC Family and Community Health Services are based on the belief that all community programmes should Involve the total care of the community and not be restricted to health or any one single aspect. Community hoalth care Is the sum of all activities aimed at the promotion of tho physical, mental and social health of individuals of a community. The gap between existing medical technology and knowledge on the one hand and the health needs of the rural populations on the other has not yet been bridged, Blncc existing systems of delivery of health care have not been geared to community participation and self-development. The Impact of preventive and promotive services is best seen when they are at the level of the family group. As the Pacific suffers from dispersed population and transportation restrictions on the delivery of services, the whole approach to coununity and family health should be specially tailored to suit these conditions. In support of health care at family and village levels, the SPC Family and Community Hoalth Programe alms at promoting a comprehensive approach to local family and community health services. Components of this approach include mother and child health (including family planning); health super-vision of vulnerable groups (including metabolic diseases); nutrition) communicable disease control (including respiratory diseases and dengue); environmental sanitation, dental health and health education and the collection of vital statistics.

5001 Community Education Training Centre (cont.)

The coursc is under continual critical review, some of which is carried out formally with outside participation to ensure umpire evaluation and to ensure also that training objectives and the curriculum are attuned to current needs and demands.

Curriculum evaluations and revisions in 1978 and 1979 have led to a broader conceptual framework for CETC's programme. While the traditional courses in the field of home economics had not been dropped, programing began to respond to the changing roles women play in their homes, communities and societies. Additional courses on Community Development, Income Generating, Small Business, Simple Accounting, Consumer Education, Planning and Evaluation were planned and tested.

Evaluation of the 1980 CETC course, in addition to the mandate of the 1980 South Pacific Conference, has led to an even more progressive change in the 1981 curriculum. More time will be given to the basic elements of community work such as planning, evaluation, leadership, political awareness, lesson planning and presentation, the use of adult education techniques, group dynamics, cocraunieatlon skills, decision making, report writing, yearly planning, ctc. Also practical exercises in income generating are planned with the study of basic economic principles to complement.

The traditionally offered courses in Home Nursing and First Aid, which have dominated the health aspects of the curriculum in the past, will be revised in 1981 and included in a section entitled "Community Health". This is aimed primarily at providing the community worker with specific lessons in basic hygiene, sanitation, emergency health care, maternal/child health, home nursing, accident prevention, and planning for a healthier community which she will be able to take back to her community and teach. In this way the graduates may aid the health personnel in the area by providing necessary basic information without having to pretend that she has expertise in the health field.

The training process will continue to be highly practical but with a greater emphasis on participatory techniques incorporated into the more theoretical aspects of the course.

The proposed curriculum will Include: 1. Community Development/Women's Roles 2. Skill development to aid in the Identification and

solution of community problems In the areas of:-Food/Nutrition; Clothing/Textiles; Home Management/ Budgeting; Community Health; Income Generating Activities; Leadership; Appropriate Technology; Project planning, implementation, evaluation.

Since it commenced operations in July 1978, the Mobile Training Unit for Community Development (formerly entitled the Mobile Home Economics Training Unit) has conducted courses in Kiribati, Tonga, American Samoa, Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Western Samoa, Fiji and Vanuatu. The Mobile Unit staff have also contributed to the training at the Community Education Training Centre, at the Mobile Training Unit for Youth and Conmunlty Workers, and on an Individual basis when requested by participating Governments.

The aim of the Mobile Training Unit is to provide refresher training courses for former students of CETC, as well as to othei community workers who have not received training previously, in particular those impeded from attending CETC because of language or academic inabilities. The Unit staff endeavours to gauge the course content around the specific needs and problems of the island country. The course format Is generally a combination of food and nutrition, sewing, budgeting, agriculture, appropriate technology, health education, and community work/rural development. Duration of the courses arc three to ten weeks. Where language problems exist the Mobile Training Unit for Community Development will work through translators as well as calling upon local expertise for assistance.

In 1980, evaluation of former Mobile Training Unit courses unit begun in order to assess effectiveness of the unit,as well as to look towards Improving the future of the Unit's operation. Visits to American Samoa and Kiribati were made and more are planned in 1981.

A proposal was approved by the Twentieth South Pacific Conference to evaluate existing non-academic education systcma in the South Pacific. Evaluation would take advantage of knowledge gained to date in appropriate education, and would aim to: (a) describe the curriculum as it differs from

standard curricula, (b) Identify the expected results of providing

the different curricula, (c) survey a sampling of graduates of existing

systems to determine whether or not the graduates are performing better in their given rural society than similar persons not trained in the system.

Because of the cosparatlvc nature of the project, some analysis of formal education systems would also be required.

The Secretariat undertook preliminary activities from July 1980 without cost, but funding will be required in 1981 to provide for consultants, duty travel and a sub-regional meeting. At least one consultant from a regional institution will be essential.

Further activity may be necessary in 1982 to follow-up the evaluation.

In responding to this it is planned to hold a workshop stressing the essentiality of co-operation between hoalth and education services and the concept of school health being a community problem, demanding a community approach. It is planned that the workshop will emphasize that education is not merely the gaining of knowledge but includes the formation of attitudes and habits, and health education should receive greater recognition in the school system particularly at the rural level.

Dengue fever remains an Important problem in the region as the majority of the region experienced a further pandemic of Denguo fever in the years 1979-80. In addition, in the same years, another mosquito-borne disease, Ross River fever, affected large numbers of people in American Samoa, Cook Islands and Fiji, and small outbreaks occurred In other countries such as New Caledonia and Wallis and Futuna. These outbreaks emphasise the continuing need for survolllnnce and research into the vector trans-missible diseases in the region so that the most approp-riate control measures may be instituted rapidly when outbreaks occur.

In 1980, tho SPC Expert Committee on Dengue Fever and other anthropod-borne diseases made recommendations that tho Commission continue to support the following activities:

1) Rosenrch into the mosquito vectors and vector compotcnco for these diseases (especially Dengue and Ross River fever) of representative strains of mosquitoes from the various countries in the region, including the collection of mosquitoes suitable for such studies by interested investigators. 2) Investigation of the clinical manifestations of Ross River fever and its sequelae. 3) Investigation of the inter-epidemic survival of Dongue and Ross River viruses. 4) The investigation of informative outbreaks of these diseases, and provide guldellnea to all the countries interested,for the initiation and con-firmation of suspected arbovlral disease outbreaks. 5) Surveillance for arbovlral diseases In countries with appropriate laboratory facilities, and investi-gation of factors which influence the appearance of an opidemlc. 6) Investigate non-Insecticldal methods of mosquito control especially In lnter-epldemlc periods. 7) A further meeting of the Expert Committee Is proposod for 1983, and Increased funding is sought , ^ 1

Diabetes surveys have disclosed an extremely high prevalence of dlnhules in urbanised Polynesians and Mlcroncsians. In contrast, diabetes docs not appear to be a particularly significant problem in Melaneslan populations or in Polynesians and Mlcroncsians who still live traditionally. Polynesians and Mlcroncsians appear to have a genetic pre-disposition to develop diabetes which becomes manifest when they adopt the dietary habits and life style of western culutre. The Seventeenth South Pacific Conference * recognised diabetes as an emerging health problem and approvud a diabetes detection and prevention programme to be Implemented by the Commission. Many requests for oBslstancu from thia progranme have been received. These requests encompass two major areas of activity:

1) Dtabetcs surveys - using standardised techniques to assoas the magnitude of the problem and to provide information for the formulation of logical approaches to prevention and control. 2) Information and advice on prevention and control. Health education about diabetes and the Influence of nutrition and physical activity on the development of the disease In susceptible populations.

The 1978 SPC/WHO Meeting on Metabolic Disorders also recommended that the Commission organize country training courses on diabetes, particularly for strategic health personnel, so they in turn could Implement their own community education and control programes.

In order to identify the causes and make recommendations for the control of these diseases it Is necessary to look at the infections and allergic factors which precipitate them.

On-going atudies into the causes of respiratory disease and what makes Pacific Island children susceptible are neceaaary to reduce the extremely high morbidity and mortality rates. This progranme is designed to assist Pacific Island countrlea in dealing with their specific respiratory dlsoase problems.

The objectives of the progranae are: (1) to identify pathogens responsible for serious

respiratory disease (other than tuberculosis)} (2) to atudy the Inmune response of Pacific Islanders

to dofine reasons for their increased susceptibility; (3) to study the Influence of malnutrition on recovery" '

Approved 1981 : 7,500 - 7,500 ?,500 This project was approved in 1977 by the Seventeenth South Pacific Conference. Gastroenteritis is recognised as one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in the South Pacific. It is extremely common in infants and young children, where it is a frequent cause of death -particularly in malnourished individuals. The epidemiology, etiology and clinical features of infantile diarrhoea in ccrtain South Pacific Island populations will be examined, with the primary objective of determining the major causes of gastroenteritis and formulating practical and effective approaches to control.

As a result of this project it has been demonstrated that Rotavirus Is a common cause of epidemic gastroenteritis in Vanuatu. Investigations to study the distribution of the virus in a non-epidemic period and in a subsequent epidemic have been performed to determine how the virus becomes a human pathogen. In addition, a systematic examination of the causes (both viral and bacterial) of diarrhoea ir infants has been started in New Caledonia to provide the information to plan preventative or control measures for gastroenteritis in infants and to provide on-going surveillance for these Infections. Because of the similarity of outbreaks of this disease in many Pacific countries, it Is believed that the results of these Investigations will have general applicability in the region.

Funds are sought for this programme in 1983 and 1984 to maintain the activity.

This item was presented to the 1980 Planning and Evaluation Committee which deferred it to the 1981 Planning and Evaluation Committee for consideration.

Scro-cpldimilological surveys for hepatitis A and B show an uxttemely high prevalence of the diseases in Pacific Inlanders. Furthermore, large numbers of clinical cases are reported to the Commission each year, and as many as 500,000 Pacific Islanders are cbtimatcd to be hepatitis B carriers* Outbreaks of clinical hepatitis and Jaundice occur quite frequently among Pacific Islanders and pose an important hazard because of their contagious nature. The magnitude and algnlficancc of the problem was recognized by the Eighth Regional Conference of Permanent Heads of Health Services. To prevent the transmission of hepatitis and to prepare for vaccination prograssnes against hepatitis (which for hepatitis B arc presently In the trial stage), a progrncsno which will include the following is proposed:

1. Serological surveys to characterise the extent of infected subjects as well as those who are pro-tected against infection, with both hepatitis A and B (using standardised techniques) and determine in eacti country requesting assistance the extent of the problem in order to define optimal strategies for control and prevention. 2. Upgrading of techniques for diagnosis of hepatitis A and B in local laboratories In the region. 3. Consultative and advisory services to countries requesting assistance in the design and Imple-mentation of hepatitis control and prevention, surveillance, immunisation and vaccination programmes.

Minimal funding is sought to initiate the project In 1982, and It la anticipated that this will generate adequate external funding to continue the project.

5320 The Prevention and Control of Rheumotic Fever Approved 1980 : and Rheumatic Heart Disease In the South Actual/Conmltted 1980 J Pacific RettIon Approved 1981 : - - 5,000 5,000 Thin proposal was presented to the 1980 Planning and Evaluation Committee which deferred consideration to tho 1981 Committee. Rheumatic fever is a common disease of childhood and adoleuccncc in much of the region. Especially with repuated attacks it leads to rheumatic heart disease, which may produce devastating illness and often death in the ttecond ond third decades of life. Rheumatic fever is a consequence of beta-haemolytic streptococcal infection of the throat or skin which Is readily amenable to treatment with antibiotics. Rheumatic heart disease, however, once established, often progresses, and over the course of several years leads to heart failure and death.

The extent to which rheumatic heart disease is amenable to surgical treatment depends on the degree of Involve-ment and the number of heart valves which are affected. Heart surgery is often only partially successful and represents an extremely expensive (but often the only possible) muthod of treatment. Thcro is wide variation in the frequency of reported rheumatic fever in the region. Furthermore, the frequency of rheumatic heart disease and frequency of surgical procedures to correct valvular heart disease, which results from reheumatlc fever, requires better definition. The purpose of this project is to establish the frequency of rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease in various countries of the region and to formulate guide-lines, Including community and health education, which will lead to prevention of this disease in the future. Rheumatic fever and its consequences have become much less frequent in developed and Industrallsed parts of tho world over tho past thirty years as a result of (a) increased awareness of the condition, (b) the widespread use and prompt treatment of beta-haemolytic streptococcal infection, (c) the use of prophylactic antibiotics during dental and other surgical procedures.

Consequently it appears that preventive measures can effectively reduce morbidity and mortality associated with the disease.

The principal activities of the project are as follows: (1) With the aid of consultants, determine the oxtent and magnitude of the problem and provide such help and assistance to individual countries as may be requested,through the organization of in-country training courses* (2) To review the magnitude of the problem on a regional basis and to devise further recommendations for the control of the disease and activities designed to eradicate rheumatic fever from the region.

Budgetary provision is sought to seed the project In 1983.

Training over the past three years has concentrated on the basic statistical operations and procedures for lower level staff. The format Is a six-week country course conducted in the mornings only to allow participants to return to their offices in the afternoons. Two such courses were conducted in 1977, four each in 1978, 1979 and 1980 and another five are scheduled for 1981. In some countries the courses were repeated to allow other staff to parti-cipate. It Is envisaged that the demand will continue and similar numbers of courses will be conducted each year. An intermediate level course for statistical officers and other staff from other departments who have already attended a basic level course is proposed for 1982 and subsequent years. The format will be a four-week (full time) country course.

This item is organized by the Statistician and the course is conducted by the Statistical Training Officer. It is proposed that a consultant will assist with the intermediate level course. The salary and travel expenses for the Statistical Training Officer for 1979 to 1981 arc fully funded by the Commonwealth Fund for Technical Co-operation (CFTC). The Fund also provides air fares and per diem for parti-cipants from outside the country. Budget allocations up to 1981 cover course equipment and materials, teach-ing aids and miscellaneous activities only.

The main function of this service is to prepare and issue regional statistical publications. Statistical Bulletins on Population, Economically Active Population, Retail Price Indexes, and Overseas Trade Statistics have already been lttHued and updated on a regular basis. A consultant was rectulted to review the existing publications with a view to extending the scope of this service. In addition, regional statistics are provided to governments, inter-national agencies and other users on request. The service is organized and directed by the Statistician and is carried out mainly by the Statistical Research Officer. There is a close co-ordination and involvement by the other sections of the Socio-Economic Unit; namely Econ-omic and Demographic sections; in the preparation of the above publications and also the South Pacific Economies: Statistical Summary. The activity is funded from Internal sources.

They also facilitate the co-ordination of aid and assistance for statistical development from International agencies such as the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), the Statiatlcal Institute for Asia and the Pacific, and others. The conferences have been established on a regular two-yearly basis, and are held a few months before the ESCAP Committee on statistics meetings. The report of the 1978 conference in Honiara was a conference-room document at the ESCAP Committee meeting in Bangkok in October 1978, and it is planned to continue with this practice for future con-ferences. The Nineteenth South Pacific Conference approved the Fifth Regional Conference to be held in Noumea in 1980. However the conference was postponed to 1981 to precede the next meeting of the ESCAP Committee on Statistics. It is proposed that the Sixth Conference be held at a centre outaide Noumea In 1983. The con-ferences are planned and directed by the Statistician.

6018 Development Planners Exchange/Attachment Scheme (New Item) (XB) (XB) (XB) The level and extent of local expertise in development planning available in Pacific countries voiles con-siderably. and it is considered that an exchange/attach-ment lie home for development planners would be one of the most fruitful means of providing needed expertise and training for planning staff of the countries in the region. At the same time, it will help in increasing awareness and appreciation of other countries' problems and experiences. It should also assist In increasing regional awareness and promoting regional co-operation.

It is pioposed that two placeB be made available each year and the costs be met by the Commission from external funding to cover fares, housing and, where warranted, a cost of living adjustment. It is envisaged that each placement will cost approximately $5,000 p.a., with the period of exchange/attachment limited to a maximum of 12 months.

Services in Population Data ond Data Utilisation Tliu objectives of this project are to assist governments in the region in (1) obtaining knowledge about the size, distribution, composition ond growth trends of their popu-lations, (2) recognising the problems and challenges the population situation docs or will pose,and (3) utilising the acquired population information for purposes of adminis-tration and development planning.

Ovor tho years, the South Pacific Coasalsslon has provided advisory services and training to South Pacific Islanders in census taking and other population activities. Because of heavy demands for assistance in these fields, the South l'uclfic Commission co-operated with UNFPA in a two-year projoct for technical Assistance and Training in Census, Demography and Population Statistics (indicated as RAS/74/P10 below), which will conclude at the end of 1981. The project was subjected to a special evaluation by the Tenth SPC Planning and Evaluation Coanittee Meeting which approved a continuation of the project in the years 1982 and 1983, putting emphasis not only on aspects of popu-lation data collection and analysis but also on data utilisation for planning and development.

In addition to the Suva based courses, provision Is also sought for a training course in recording techniques. The recent out-flow of some rather badly recorded cassettes of Pacific Island music -both traditional and modern - have prompted a number of broadcasting and cultural organizations to seek our assistance in providing a practical training course in the techniques of multi-channel recording without the benefit of a well equipped and expensive recording studio. Cultural organi-zations have for some time expressed an Interest in rocordlng and marketing their own performances but have lacked the expertise to do so.

Documentation Assistant (A5) (New Post) _ 11,000 11,500 The Library has been responsible, since 1972, for publications stock work and, since 1978, for medical documentation and PEACESAT operation. During 1980 total Library staff tine spent on this work, i.e. filing, retrieving, despatching and maintenance, rose from 5-6 man-months. Publications sales continued to be noglcctcd, since to carry out procedures associated with postage and sales would have required en additional 10 man-months.

Stock work falls mainly on the Clerical Assistant, but it hail assumed such proportions that it has crowded out all except periodical registration, circulation and filing, and loan record filing of her eleven duties. Order and exchange work has Increased to such an extent since 1978 that the Clerk Typist cannot effectively carry out her other duties. Under present circum-stancou it has become impossible to ensure that exchange records are regularly maintained, or that stocktaking and checking on missing Issues and overdue loans are regularly carried out. Lack of clerical support has meant that the Cataloguer and Librarian must spend tlma on routine work, which in turn reduces their capacity to fulfil their normal responsibilities.

The Library has hod to give priority to publication stock work - but at the expense of other work, and thus reducc the quality and quantity of information supplied.

The establishment of an additional position - that of Documentation Assistant at A5 level (CFP 1,100,000 frs.) -is proposed for 1983. Such an assistant would be responsible, under supervision, for the maintenance of distribution, exchange and deposit lists, the filing, retrieval, despatch and disposal of SPC publi-cations, photocopy out-of-print SPC and other publi-cations, and deal with associated correspondence, and the operation of the microfilm camera to film publi-cations, etc*

A considerable amount of information has been amassed through 1980 on the expertise available within the region in a number of specialist areas, including Ecology, Agriculture and Plant Protection, Environ-mental Health and Food Hygiene, Statistical Services, and Archlvos, Bibliography and Library Training. It was intended to obtain more detailed Information by sending questionnaires to each of the institutions Identified. However, at the time these questionnaires were to bo distributed, the Twentieth South Pacific Conference expressed interest in, and directed the Secretariat to study, the proposal for a Regional Advisory Service. It is felt that the two projects have a great deal in common and that Investigation of the Regional Advisory Service may well embrace the Register. Further work on the Register has therefore been deferred until the study of the Regional Advisory Service has been completed.

11004 Regional Programme for the Safeguard of • (New Item) (XB) (XB) (XB) the Cultural Heritage of the Pacific Region To date tho Commission's involvement in cultural activities has been limited to providing support to host governments of the South Pacific Festival of Arts by way of a grant as approved by the South Pacific Conference and marginal administrative support (Item 11001); convening meetings of the South Pacific Arts Festival Council (Item 11002); and providing grants In aid of Cultuinl Development and the Conservation of Traditional Practlcoa (Item 11003). In addition, at the request of the Third Hooting of the UNESCO Advisory Committee for the study of Oceanic cultures, the Commission has, since late 1980, undertaken the role of co-ordinator for the UNESCO project on the study of Oceanic cultures.

The UNESCO/tCOM Symposium on the ways and means of safeguarding the cultural heritage of the Pacific Region was held in Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia, from 18 to 19 December 1980. The rccommcmlntions of the Symposium are summarised below: 1) A regional progranme for the safeguard of the cultural

heritage of the Pacific region should be co-ordinated in its initial phase by the SPC which should create a post of Cultural Affairs Officer. The programme should be carrlcd out with assistance from the International Council of Museums (1C0M) and The United Nationa Educational, Cultural and Science Organization (UNESCO), particularly with respect to aspects requiring technical and flnuncial co-operation.

2) The programme comprises: (a) Thu promotion of greater public awareness of the role of tho museums in preserving the cultural heritage through effective measures such aa the South Pacific Festival of Arts, the recognition by governments and administrations of tho need for the creation of muaeums or similar insti-tutions such as cultural centres, (b) The identification by peoples In the region of their dispersed cultural heritage through the preparation of lists of all collections and objects from countries and territories in the Pacific In their holdings by museums, and for such lists to be exchanged between countries, territories and museums concerned, and the UNESCO/ICOM Documentation Centre, (c) Training of museum personnel to be carried out within the region and in accordance with the specific requirements of each country or territory. In this regard, the proposed Roglonnl Conservation Centre at Canberra, Australia, should organise in a Pacific Island country or territory a workshop on the training of conservators which would seek to Identify tho training needft of the region, to recommend training methods adapted to these needs, and to recomend a suitable programme for the Regional Conservation Centre itself. Institutions such as ICOH, UNESCO, SPC and the Pacific . Regional Conservation Centre (Hawaii), ahould co-operate In carrying out these activities. International co-operation^ from related Institutions should be ensured in carrying out appropriate training progresses. (d) Existing museums should make available, upon request, evaluations of their overall progress to those responsible for the creation of new museums. Such exchange is to be facilitated by the SPC*

11004 ReRlnnnl 1'roRtammo for the Safeguard of tho Cultural Heritage of the Pacific Region (cont.)

(u) Countries and territories that have not adopted legislation to prevent illicit traffic of cultural property, and in particular to ratify the 1970 Convention concerning measures to prevent the illicit import, export and transfer of ownership of cultural propurty, should consider adoption of appropriate legislations an n matter of urgcncy. Such legislations should be harmonised and their scope broadened to include all the ethnographical and natural specimens and archaeological objects from countries and territories of the region.

A comparative study of existing national legislations for Lho itafeguard of the cultural and natural heritage should be carried out and made available to all countries and territories concurned. Governments are urged to create special regulations requiring that at least 2 per cent of the total costs of public or privates works be reserved automatically for the safeguard, study ami the presentation of the cultural and natural heritage dittcovcrcd or affected by such works. 1C0M, UNESCO and SPC are urged to make possible Immediately the preparation and publication of a general survey of the cultural property of the Pacific region hold by museums and other collections in other regions. Such a mtrvuy would serve as a basis for practical steps to promote the return or restltutinn of cultural property to countries and terri-tories of the Pacific region. (f) A study on the effects of Tourism and Traditional Arts and Crafts of the Pacific region should be initiated by UNESCO. In addition to the Regional Programme for the Safeguard of the Cultural Heritage of the Pacific region, the SPC la currently undertaking the co-ordination of the UNESCO programme of Cultural Studies in Oceania, as mentioned above. In 1980, UNESCO gave a grant of US$5,000 for this task. A grant of US$10,000 Is being made by UNESCO for the same task in 1981. It Is anticipated that this co-ordination will continue in 1982 and a review of the grants provided by UNESCO will be made towards the end of 1981 for 1982.

The programme for the study of Oceanic cultures includes the publication of the series "Introduction to Oceanic Cultures", a study of traditional medicine in co-operation with the World Health Organitatlon, the promotion and development of local languages, and consultations by specialists on the dissemination of Oceanic cultures by the media scheduled for 1982. The funds provided by UNESCO will ho utilised to offset costs to the Secretariat In co-ordinating the project including administration and travel costs.

Consultations are being carried out with UNESCO to determine tho extent of the assistance to be provided by UNESCO for the Regional Progratme for the Safeguard of the Cultural Heritage of the Pacific Region. It la anticipated that the bulk of the additional costs to SPC for the implementation of this programme might well be secured from UNESCO. The Secretariat considers that it might be possible in 1982 for the existing administration staff of the Commission to bear the additional responsibilities of this programme. Depending on the growth of this programme, however, there might be a need in 1982 to consider the possibility of including in the Commission's establishment a new post of Cultural Affalra Officer for 1983 as reconnended by the meeting of speciallats held in Papeete In December 1980.

The Regional Programme for the Safeguard of the Cultural Heritage of tho Pacific Region la Included in the Work Prograane on the rocoumendatlon of French Polynesia.

In the course of these renovations, it has been found necessary to upgrade the electricity capacity of the Headquarters buildings. In order to cater for power outputs necessary for the new Prlntery and other equipment being installed at Headquarters, this has necessitated in 1981 an allocation of CFP 15,000 units for upgrading the power supply in order to cater for present and expected future power requirements. This has meant that part of the renovation plans will have to be postponed until 1982. In addition, it has been found necessary to renovate parts of the Headquarters building that were originally considered adequate. There is an urgent need for additional office space as well as storage space for Llbrory documents and publi-cations. It 1b therefore considered necessary for a further allocation for renovations in 1982. The May 1981 Committee of Representatives of Parti-cipating Governments agreed that the highest priority be given in 1983 for this Item.

PROJECT PROPOSAL (Budget Items 6001 and 6007)

TRAINING COURSES IN STATISTICAL OPERATIONS AND PROCEDURES

I. BACKGROUND 1. The Second Regional Conference of Statisticians held in 1974 noted with concern the problems associated with both recruitment of suitable staff and retention of trained and experienced personnel in the field of statistics. The Conference concluded that there was a need to upgrade the status of Statisticians within the government services. It was also agreed that the absence of basic training for lower level staff was the main deficiency at that time and that there was a need for such training to be carried out within the country or on a sub-regional basis.

2. To meet those needs, a project on Training Courses in Statistical Operations and Procedures was started in 1977. The project was funded by the New Zealand Government at its initial stages and since October 1978 by the Commonwealth Fund for Technical Co-operation (CFTC). 3. At the end of 1980, seventeen courses have already been concluded in the following countries:-

Number of Courses American Samoa 1 Cook Islands 1 Fiji 1 Guam 1 Kiribati 1 Papua New Guinea 2 Solomon Islands 2 Tonga 1 Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands 5* Vanuatu 1 Western Samoa _1

17 4. Already there were about three hundred lower level staff being trained during the four years 1977-1980 and they came from different departments, including Police, Health, Education, Agriculture, Customs, Inland Revenue, Economic Planning, as well as from Central Statistics Offices.

5. An evaluation report on these training courses follows this proposal.

*In collaboration with the Statistical Institute for Asia and the Pacific and the Territorial governments.


II. PRESENT POSITION 6. The Work Programme 1981 has approved the continuation of the project with funds provided by CFTC for Budget Item 6007, and a provision for CFP 250,000 (Budget Item 6001) to cover course equipment and materials, teaching aids and miscellaneous activity. 7. 'Five courses have already been arranged for 1981 in the following countries:

American Samoa Guam Niue Tonga Tuvalu

The demand for courses this year are so great that the Statistical Training Officer would not be able to cope. One consultant from the Australian Government has conducted the course in Tuvalu and we expect one from the New Zealand Government to conduct the course in Tonga. 8. In addition to the courses at the basic level we are hoping to embark on a more advanced course at INTERMEDIATE LEVEL, and the first one is planned for Guam in August 1981. The course will be of four weeks's duration with full-time attendances for middle to senior level staff. A consultant will also be needed to help the Statistical Training Officer in conducting the courses.

III. FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS 9. The demand for courses at the basic and intermediate levels will warrant continuation of the project for- a number of years to come. It is envisaged that four basic level and one intermediate level courses will be conducted annually. 10. The funds for Budget Item 6007 "Statistical Training Officer" have been provided by CFTC since October 1978 and should have ceased in October 1980. The Fund agreed to extend the project for another year to the end of 1981. This agreement was only reached when they had the assurance from the Commission that the project has a long-term future and that the cost will be met from SPC funds from 1982 onwards. The policy of CFTC is that they will not support a project of this nature for more than three years. There is no hope of asking them to provide funds for this project beyond 1981.

11. It is recommended that the project be continued beyond 1981, at the Commission's expense. ' Details of the proposed costs are as follows:-

An Evaluation of the Programme of Generalised Statistical Training conducted by the South Pacific Commission

from January 1977 to September 1980 •

1. Introduction 1.1 The programme of generalised statistical training was initiated

in response to requests put forward at the South Pacific Commission's second and third Regional Conferences of Statisticians, held in 1974 and 1976 respectively. It had been recognised for quite some time that while there was no shortage of training opportunities for professional statisticians and higher level staff, there did not exist any suitable courses, either in the Pacific region or elsewhere, for lower and intermediate level workers. Most statistical offices had only been established for a short period of time and all were operating on a small scale. In almost all centres there was no capability for providing in-service training for statistical workers. Consequently lower level staff did not receive any basic training, their standard of work was fairly low and they had few opportunities to gain promotion.

1.2 For some tine the South Pacific Commission had been running a series of specialised statistical training courses on various topics, normally one per year conducted on a sub-regional basis. Usually one participant from each country was invited, with the Commission paying the cost of one-way airfare and per diem and the sponsoring government meeting the cost of the remaining airfare. It was recognised that this format was relatively successful for courses concentrating on a particular topic and aimed at high level staff, but that it would not be suitable for generalised training at a lower level.

1.3 It was decided, therefore, to organise a series of country courses of six to eight weeks' duration with between 12 and 25 participants per courses. Since the level was to be fairly elementary, it was thought that the course would appeal not only to workers in central statistical organisations but also to any person who had to deal with numerical Information. This would include people in statistical units in govern-ment departments, employees of statutory authorities and occasionally people from private enterprises. The syllabus was to concentrate on the basic operations and procedures concerned with the collection, analysis and presentation of statistical data and would require only a minimum basic knowledge of mathematics. No attempt would be made to cover more advanced analysis or statistical inference.

2. The Programme So Far 2.1 It was originally proposed that this programme be funded from the

regular budget of the SPC and an item to this effect was Included in the proposed budget for 1977. Unfortunately financial constraints at that time meant that it was not possible to include this item and a search was then started for additional funds.

2.2 Initially the programme was funded from New Zealand aid funds; a part-time training officer was appointed and all his costs were met from this source. At the end of 1977, however, New Zealand Government support ceased and the programme was taken over by the Commonwealth Fund for Technical Cooperation (CFTC). A full time training officer, based in Noumea, was appointed on a two-year contract in October 1978. Some additional assistance for the programme has been received from other sources, but almost all the costs since January 1978 have been met 'by CFTC.

2.3 Table 1 provides a summary of all the training courses that have been held since the inception of the programme. To date 17 courses have been completed and these have been attended by a total of 307 participants. Courses 1 and 2 were financed from New Zealand funds; courses 6 and 9 were conducted by lecturers from the Statis-tical Institute for Asia and the Pacific, course 12 was organised and directed by staff from the Office of Planning and Statistics in Saipan who had taken part in previous courses in the Trust Territory; course 16 was directed by an officer seconded from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, with travel and per diem costs met from UNDP funds; all the remaining courses were financed by CFTC.

Page 92 2.4 A detailed list of each course giving the number of partici-

pants and the organisations and departments in which they work is attached as an appendix to this report. Unfortunately full details are not available for every course but it is obvious that the participants have come from a wide range of backgrounds. Typically less than 25 per cent come from some central statistical organisation; the remainder work in a variety of offices and other organisations. Since for all the courses the nomination of participants has been the responsibility of the government concerned, the variety of organisations represented indicates the wide appeal of the basic concept.

2.5 All the courses have followed more or less the same syllabus, based on a manual of lecture notes. The first version of these notes was prepared by Mr. C.R. Hunter who followed quite closely the Manual on training of statistical personnel at the primary and intermediate levels prepared by the Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East and published by the United Nations in New York in 1963. This initial version was extensively revised and rewritten by Mr. G. Eele, the CFTC Statistical Training Officer, and the revised edition of the notes was used for courses 8 to 17.

2.6 The organisation of all the courses has followed the same kind of format. The training notes, together with associated exercises, workshops and practical projects are designed to provide about 100 contact hours of teaching. This has normally been organised into a six-week session, working during the mornings only. The part-time approach has had two main advantages: firstly it has meant that it has been possible to run the course with just one director/lecturer, and secondly it has probably increased the participation rate, by ensuring that the work of small offices and organisations is not completely halted by the absence of one or two key people. In one or two countries it has been possible to obtain the assistance of a full-time lecturer to supplement the efforts of the course director. In these cases it has been possible to run the courses full-time; this has not meant that more time has been spent on formal lectures, but has made it possible to undertake much more practical work and cover many more examples.

3. Outline of the Statistical Operations and Procedures Training Course 3.1 All the courses held so far have been at the elementary level

and have been based on the lecture notes originally prepared by Mr. Hunter and later revised by Mr. Eele. The present version of the elementary course consists of 14 topics in four main sections. These are as follows:

Topic 1 Introduction to the S.O.A.P. Course Introduction to Statistics

Topic 2 The Nature of Statistics Topic 3 Governments as Collectors and Users of Statistics

!!

Undertaking a Statiatlcal Investigation Topic A Designing a Statistical Investigation Topic 5 Sampling


Topic 6 Data Collection Topic 7 Data Editing, Accuracy and the Elimination of Errors Topic 8 Data Processing Topic 9 The Presentation and Publication of Statistics

The Analysis of Statistical Data Topic 10 Frequency Distributions Topic 11 Averages and Other .Measures of Location Topic 12 Measures of Dispersion Topic 13 Index Numbers

The Use of Statistical Data Topic 14 An Introduction to the Use of Statistics

3.2 The amount of time spent on each topic has varied from course to course depending on the requirements of the country and the wishes of the course director. Table 2, however, presents the average of a number of courses.

SPConf.21/WP.2 Page 94 3.3 Several teaching methods have been used to present the

material; they include lectures, discussion groups, workshops, general discussions and so on. The distribution of time to each method once again varied according to the lecturer, the number of participants and so on. Table 3 presents an average distribution based on a number of courses.

3.4 In addition to the activities listed above, the participants in most courses also undertook a number of assignments. These were based on the material in each topic and designed to follow up on many of the points covered in the lectures. As far as possible the assign-ments were based on local material and applied to local conditions, which meant that they had to be altered slightly for each course. In most cases the assignments were undertaken by the participants in their own time.

3.5 It can be seen from Table 2 that some considerable time had to be spent on preliminary mathematics, as much as 10 per cent on many of the courses. In the initial formulation of the elementary course it was assumed that this could be dealt with by the sponsoring organisation in each country. In practice this was only so on very few occasions and it often proved necessary to spend two or three days giving the participants some revision in a few elementary mathematical techniques. In the later courses a diagnostic mathematic test was prepared and given to all the participants, usually on the first day. In almost all cases it proved necessary to give people some preliminary teaching in the use of percentages, ratios and proportions. During these preliminary sessions training was also given in the use of a simple electronic calculator and of elementary statistical notation-

s ' A popular and effective part of almost all the courses conducted so far has been a practical project. This has usually taken the form of a data collection exercise undertaken by the students themselves; as far as possible they have been responsible for all aspects including planning, preparing the questionnaire, collecting the data, data processing and preparing a report. Sometimes, however, shortage of time has meant that not all stages have been completed, and in fact one almost universal comment has been that the participants would have liked to have spent more time on the project. ,

3.7 The topics for the various projects have been chosen in consultation with the governments and, as far as possible, have been selected on the basis of representing real problems. This has had the advantage of helping to motivate the participants as well as providing data that will actually be of use. Table 4 provides details of the topics covered in the different courses.

SPConf.21/WP.2 Page 96 4. Evaluation of the Courses Completed 4.1 This evaluation is largely based on the answers received to

two questionnaires completed at the end of each course. These are part of the SPC's regular evaluation of training courses and workshops and the questionnaires have a standard format. The first one is completed by the participants at the end of the course and records their reaction to the material, the effectiveness of the course as a wljole and the administrative arrangements. The second questionnaire is filled in by the supervisors of each participant about six months after the course has finished. This form attempts to assess the impact of the material on the work performance of the participant and to identify any improvements that have resulted.

4.2 Neither of these forms is ideal for the purpose of evaluation. They are designed to be appropriate, as far as possible, for all SPC courses, but some of the questions are simply not relevant to the statistical training. In addition, in an earlier version of both forms, used until the end of 1979, the wording of some questions was not clear, and it was evident that many participants did not fully understand what was required.

4.3 Another basic problem, particularly with the initial evalua-tion form filled in by the participants was that even though the forms were completed anonymously, it was obvious that many people did not wish to appear over critical. This response, which seems typical of people in the Pacific Islands, means that care has to be taken over the interpretation of the replies on the questionnaires. A large percentage showing apparent approval of a course will not necessarily mean that it was successful.

4.4 It is also very difficult to determine what actually consltutes "success". The basic objective of the whole programme has been to improve the quality and quantity of published statistics in the country of the region. Even if it were possible to show that in countries where courses have been held the production of statistical series has improved, it would be stretching things somewhat to attri-bute this improvement to the effect of the training. Conversely if the output of statistics does not improve significantly this would not necessarily indicate that the course had been a failure. Because of the large number of factors involved, therefore, all that can really be attempted is an ad hoc review of each course, considering the information contained in the evaluation questionnaire in the light of the particular circumstances prevailing in that country.

4.5 Full sets of evaluation questionnaires are not available for all the courses, and a complete coverage of all the participants was obtained only in a-few cases. Table 5 summarises the number of questionnaires received. There are 162 initial evaluation forms, relating to 12 of .the courses, and 72 follow-up forms for 7 courses. The response rate obviously varies from course to course, but is considerably' better for the first questionnaire. The follow-up form is usually sent by post to the country concerned and there are difficulties in obtaining a reasonable response.

4.6 Tables 6 to 10 sumnarlse the replies to the questions on the initial form which refer to the overall impact of the particular course. The course numbers are the same as those given in Tables 1 and 2. The analysis of these results is complicated by the fact that two different versions of the questionnaire were used, with different wording for the various questions. The first version was used on courses 5 to 13 and the second on the remainder, that is 14 to 17. It is thought, however, that the two versions of the question refer to more or less the same thing and that the results are compatible to a certain extent.

4.7 The Information given In these tables is very encouraging, even given the in-built bias towards too favourable a view noted above. Fifty-nine per cent of the participants overall thought the course was urgently needed and 40 per cent moderately so; 78 per cent considered it was very effective or the objectives were completely achieved and 20 per cent found this to be moderately or partly so. Seventy-six per cent found the course very stimulating or Interesting, 20 per cent moderately so; 54 per cent considered that they were highly motivated, or very much wanted to find out more about statistics, and 32 per cent considered this to be partly true.

4.8 Tables 11 to 16 provide information on the reaction of the participants to the actual contents of the course and the methods of presenting the material. Here once again the results are encouraging, although one or two indications emerge about improve-ments that might be made in the future.

4.9 Eighty-four per cent found the courses to be well balanced between the various methods of presentation and 14 per cent did not. For the second group the main reason put forward was that there was not enough practical work or that there was insufficient time to complete the practical project.

4.10 In considering the various methods of presenting the material there are obvious differences from course to course, depending upon the lecturers and their preferences. The most common methods, however, were by lecture, by means of general discussion and by using group discussions. Sixty-five per cent found the lectures very useful, 34 per cent useful; 57 per cent considered the general discussion very useful and 38 per cent partly so; 56 per cent thought that the group discussions were very useful and 37 per cent found them useful.

4.11 When looking at the level and the pace of the courses 72 per cent found the pace about right, just 2 per cent thought it was too slow but 20 per cent found It too fast. On the other hand 91 per cent found the level about right, with 7 per cent considering it too high; none found it too low.

4.12 The results reported in Tables 11 and 16 and some of the comments received from the participants and lecturers make it clear that some of the participants at least have found some difficulty in following all the material. Almost all seem to have enjoyed the practical projects and to have found them an invaluable part of the course. There was considerable criticism, however, that in most cases the time was too short to enable the projects to be properly completed. This would indicate, therefore, that the time spent on some of the theoretical aspects could usefully be reduced and more time devoted to practical work.

4.13 This approach, in fact, was tried in course 17, held in Solomon Islands. In this course the theoretical part was restricted to the first four weeks, with the remaining two weeks devoted to practical work. In addition, instead of the participants all working on one project they were divided into three groups, each dealing with a separate problem. This had the advantage that in a smaller group all the participants could become involved with all aspects of the operation and so gain valuable experience of all the stages In a statistical collection. Where it is practicable, and depending on the requirements of individual countries, it is recommended that this practice be followed In future.

A.1A Tables 17 to 21 summarise some of the replies to the most relevant questions on the follow-up questionnaire. Here, once again, two versions of the questionnaire were used, the first for courses 5 to 8, the second for courses 9 to 11. In theory the form is supposed to be completed by the immediate supervisor of the participant, but in practice this is not always so. In some cases this means that the respondent does not have much direct knowledge of'statistics and is not acquainted with the participant's work performance since the course. This accounts for the relatively high level of non-response to some of the questions.

A.15 According to the supervisors 82 per cent of the participants seemed very satisfied with the course or found it very useful, 15 per cent found it partly useful. For 50 per cent of the people the course appeared to meet the needs of their organisation completely, this was partly true for a further AA per cent.

4.16 Supervisors reported that there had been considerable improvement in the work performance of 40 per cent of the participants since they had completed the course and that there had been partial improvement in a further 49 per cent. When consider-ing the question, however, of whether the benefits of the training exceeded the costs of the working time lost 26 per cent of the supervisors said this was true to a great extent and 45 per cent a little; 22 per cent considered that it was not true at all. Fifty-three per cent stated that there was a need for follow-up training.•

4.17 The views obtained from the follow-up questionnaires, there-fore, are not quite so clear-cut as those given by the participants themselves. In general it would appear that considerable benefit has been derived from the training, although a significant minority of supervisors considered that this did not outweigh the costs involved in terms of time lost during the course.

5. Costs 5.1 When the costs of the training programme are estimated and

attempts are made to derive a cost per trainee, several problems are immediately apparent. Courses have been organised under a variety of different arrangements; some have been directed by the full-time training officer, others by special consultants some of whose services were provided free of charge, and one course was conducted by the staff of the local statistics office. In each case, the costs are likely to be different and the information is not available to estimate them all separately.

5.2 To enable some estimates of the cost of providing the statis-tical training to be obtained, the current situation, where a full-time training officer is employed, is considered. It is assumed that 90 per cent of this person's time will be taken up by the generalised statistical training programme and so 90 per cent of his total costs are attributed to the programme. The basic costs involved are then: the salary and related costs (e.g. rental allowance, passages, ship-ping of personal effects, etc.) of the training officer, travel and per diem, and the ancillary costs of each course (e.g. stationery, social function, calculators etc.).

5.3 Some costs cannot be included because no data are available from which to estimate them. These include the overhead costs of SPC, such items as clerical assistance, general administration, printing, etc., and of CFTC, e.g. administrative costs associated

> with field experts. In addition, no allowance is made for the opportunity cost of running a training course, which is mostly made up of the costs of the work time forgone by the participants.

5.4 Table 22 summarises the costs of running the programme for one year, based on 1979 prices.


Table 22. Approximate costs of running generalised statistical training programme for one year

1. Salary of Statistical Training Officer CFP COOs) 16,711

2. Passages 1,584 3. Rent allowance 2,191 4. Other costs 2,059 5. Travel within Pacific region 3,520 6. Per diem 6,750 7. Attendance of participants from nearby

countries 2,700 8. Rent subvention 2,400 9. Incidental costs of courses 1,500

Total estimated cost for one year 39,415 Items 1 to 7 are currently met by CFTC and items 8 and 9 by SPC. Items 2, 3 and 4 have been costed assuming that the training officer is either single or is not accompanied by his family. Items 1 to 4 represent 90 per cent of the total annual cost, it being assumed that 10 per cent of the training officer's time is spent on other duties.

5.5 Assuming that five training courses can be completed in one year, and that there are, on average, 18 participants per course, the cost per course is then CFP 788,300 and the cost per participant CFP 43,794 (almost £250); this is equivalent to CFP 487 per student contact hour (about £2.75).

6. Conclusions and Recommendations 6.1 From the evidence currently available it would appear that the

SPC Generalised Statistical Training Programme has been relatively successful. It has provided training for more than 300 people at a reasonably low cost. From the continuing demand for such training and the reaction of the participants in the programme it is clear that it is meeting a real need. It is important, however, to make sure that the resources involved are being used in the most efficient way possible and that the contents of the training courses really do satisfy the requirements of the various countries.

6.2 In the context of collecting and publishing official statistics within Pacific countries the priorities of the training programme seem to be correct. In all but the largest offices there will only ever be a requirement 'for one or two professional statisticians and these people will need to be good generalists with a reasonable all-round knowledge. When, from time to time, the need arises for some more specialised skill this can almost always be obtained by means of consultancy services from one of the international organisations, including the SPC itself. There is, therefore, within the region little scope or even demand for high-level intensive training of statisticians. ,>"•'?;, .v-_.

SPConf.21/WP. 2 Page 110

6.3 The most immediate need, then, would appear to be for training at the elementary and intermediate levels, aimed at statistical workers who are concerned with the various aspects of producing official statistics. Apart from providing these people with practice in these basic operations, the training should also help them to understand something about statistics as a subject and their role in the general development process.

6.4 From the demand for training courses in the region it is clear that the training programming is satisfying the perceived needs. It is also obvious that the format of the courses is both general and flexible enough to be relevant to the largest and smallest organisa-tions. Courses have been successfully held in Papua New Guinea (population over 3>s million) and the Cook Islands (population 18,000). In 1981 courses are likely to be requested for Tuvalu and Niue (popula-tion about 7,500 and 3,600 thousand respectively). In addition several countries have recently hosted or requested repeat courses.

6.5 For the foreseeable future, except perhaps in the largest two or three countries, it is unlikely that there will be much capability for undertaking in-service training in statistics. Even where the capability does exist or can be developed it is likely that some outside assistance will be required with developing course material, preparing visual aids and drawing up syllabuses. For the majority of Pacific countries, however, the situation will continue whereby train-ing will depend upon the availability of external assistance; they can neither afford nor justify the employment of a full-time statistical trainer.

6.6 All the courses held so far have been at the elementary level and it is to be expected that the greatest demand for the immediate future will remain at this level. Several countries, however, have expressed interest in training aimed at a more advanced audience. In most of the courses completed it has proved possible to identify four or five participants who would be able to benefit from further training and on more than 50 per cent of the follow-up questionnaires the need was expressed for some follow-up to the elementary course.

6.7 There would, therefore, appear to be some requirement for a general statistics course at the intermediate level, following the same kind of format as the current, basic course. It would be aimed at people who have either completed the elementary level or have some experience of statistical work and would, once again, concentrate on the standard statistical operations and procedures rather than on mathematical techniques. It is recommended that the course also cover some basic aspects of economics, particularly in relation to national development planning and the measurement of economic activity.

6.8 In the smaller countries it is unlikely that there,will be enough participants to justify a one-country course so it may well be necessary to being participants from two or three neighbouring countries together for one course. This will make it impossible to run the course on a part-time basis, which in turn indicates a require-ment for a second full-time lecturer. The costs, therefore, are likely.to be considerably higher for an intermediate course and it will probably only be possible to hold one every eighteen months to two years. It is recommended, however, that a start be made with an intermediate course in 1981 so that material can be developed and the concept tried out in practice.


6.9 For the elementary course the syllabus and training notes currently in use seem to be adequate and useful; some minor altera-tions, however, could be made. The topic on index numbers is almost certainly too complex and should be rewritten and the topic on measures of dispersion could be dispensed with in most situations. One important aspect that should be stressed in future is the practical project. It is suggested that wherever possible an actual period of time be set aside for the project and that this be sufficient to cover the planning, data collection, analysis and preparation of a report. If necessary some of the theoretical topics should be shortened in order to provide enough time for practical work.

6.10 One area in which little work has been done so far, but which seems to be important, is training the users of official statistics. Almost all the training courses held so far have been aimed at the producer of data, the only exception being the course 17, held in the Solomon Islands which was designed to be relevant to data users as well as producers. Many senior administrators have little or no background in the use of numerical information, and in many countries the statistics produced are not fully utilised because policy makers and administrators do not fully understand the data and do not know how to use them.

6.11 This is an area of considerable importance and the problem goes beyond one of simply providing training. It is expected that in the next two years SPC will become much more involved in improving the utilisation of published statistics and that part of this process will include promoting training and conducting courses. Much work, of course, will have to be undertaken in conjunction with training centres in countries and could well involve the injection of numerical and statistical modules into current administrative training courses.

6.12 Although the cost of providing statistical training is relatively low some changes could be made to make the training more cost efficient. At present the training officer travels from country to country and directs courses for a limited number of students. Most of the costs of the progranme are associated with this officer and the only way to reduce costs will be to Increase the total number of participants in a given period. This could be done if the emphasis was changed from providing the training directly to encouraging countries to conduct their own training.

6.13 It is recommended, therefore, that in the next one or two years the possibility of 'training trainers' be investigated. This will require some development of the training material, particularly to make it more flexible to use, together with the preparation of associated visual aids, assignments, projects and so on. It is likely that the smallest countries will never be able to develop much potential on their own and will still need to call on the services of the training officer from time to time. In the larger countries, however, particu-larly whenthe statistical organisation is relatively well established, the capability to undertake some kind of training could well be developed.


6.14 Training of trainers will require a very flexible approach and will need material that can be readily adapted to use in a wide variety of situations. Because of a general shortage of professional staff and the consequent pressure on their time it is unlikely that it will prove possible to organise training over a concentrated period of six weeks, even on a part-time basis. If, however, the course could be divided into a number of self-contained 'modules' this should provide a sufficient degree of flexibility to enable the training to be fitted in whenever circumstances permitted.

6.15 To provide impetus to this process it may well be necessary to hold seminars or training sessions for statistical trainers from time to time. These could take the form of a regional or sub-regional meeting, or might require the training officer to travel from country to country.

(para 9 of the Report of that meeting, SPConf.21/WP.3). t ; In considering this decision in relation to.the Commission's

proposed Work Programme and Budget for 1982 the Planning and Evaluation Goimittee was placed in a difficult.position - a position which they

' faced in 1979 in relation to the 1980 Work Programme and Budget, and again in 1980 for the 1981 Work Programme and Budget. In every case, the South Pacific Conference endorsed.the recommendations of the Planning and Evaluation Conmittee pertaining to the Work Programme and Budget for .the following year. , ' . ,

r - 2

Over the two-year period that I have been Secretary-General of the South Pacific Commission, I have often wondered why member governments have decided to maintain the SPC Budget at the same level for four consecutive years. Initially, I had thought that perhaps members might not have been satisfied with the manner in which the Secretariat implements its responsibilities. Perhaps members might also consider our responses to requests for assistance to be unsatisfactory. Perhaps members too might consider that the Commission is overstaffed and over-paid.

I have therefore observed critically the operational procedures of the Commission as well as the work performance of staff. Improvements have been made where necessary. I have also paid close attention to the evaluations, both formal and informal, of representatives of Governments and Territorial Administrations of the Commission's work performance. Criticisms to date have been minor in nature and have been attended to.

With regard to staff, Mr S.D. Wilson, Director of Management Support, New Zealand State Services Commission, has recently completed the Triennial Review of the Commission's Classification and Salaries Plan. Copies of his report have already been forwarded to you. Whilst Mr Wilson has recommended that the Director of Administration post be redesignated as Deputy Director of Programmes, which in fact is a recognition of what is already happening in practice, he has nevertheless not recommended a reduction in actual staff numbers for the Commission. In addition, Mr Wilson has found justification for substantive increases in salaries for staff. This indirectly indicates that staff are not overpaid. With his independent evaluation, I am satisfied that the Secretariat is not overstaffed. I am also satisfied by the staff's work performance and that tho Conndssion is responding effectively to the needs of the region. Given additional resources, we could of course do more for the region.

In view of the above, I can only conclude that Governments have not been adequately informed of the serious problems being faced by the Commission in relation to its effectively reduced Budget whilst being expected to do more for the region - problems which have forced me to freeze some activities that have been included in our 1981 Work Programme.

, , ' Contributions by member governments to the South Pacific Commission budget are assessed and paid in Pacific francs and therefore the purchasing power of the Commission is dependant on the value of the franc as related to,its.expenditure currencies. Expenditure in most countries in the region is,in dollar related currencies which have escalated dramatically in value against the franc over the past twelve months. Since' 1979, the first year of the current budgetary level, the loss of purchasing power due to the declining value of the franc and inflation has drastically eroded the real value of the Commission's cash resources and it is estimated that to main-tain in 1982 the same level of activities that were carried out in 1979, an estimated increase'to the current level of income of 1,000,000 units would be required. (See Annex I ).

Annex II gives details of how much less, in terms,of their respec-tive currencies. Committee members (except for-France), have• contributed to

' the Commission Budget since'1979. A-projection of what members might be expected to contribute in ,1982 ,if the Budget level, remains the same as for 1981, based on the exchange rate.for September,1981, is also included.

' - i'' • .. • -> ,' .,>;'' --- J.-' ' M''"- < <' , • r

3

In the light of our experiences to date in the current year, I am convinced that if the Commission's Budget is maintained at the same level as for 1979, my successor will be faced with the very real possi-bility of deleting total activities within the Work Programme.

Under these circumstances X am, with respect, taking the unpre-cedented step of requesting Participating Governments to reconsider their decision made in May 1981 to maintain their contributions to the SPC Budget for 1982 at the same level as for 1981 with a view towards the Committee approving a ten per cent (10%) increase in contributions for 1982 over the 1981 level of contributions. In monetary terms this will mean an increase of CFP units 319,134 and entails increases in contributions by Participating Governments as detailed at Annex I. It is respectfully pointed out that with the exception of the newer members (Cook Islands and Niue) and France the cost of increased contributions in home currencies using current exchange rates is less than the costs of the 1980 level of contributions and, for some members, are less than their 1981 contributions.

To accommodate the decision by CRPG in May 1981 to maintain contributions to the Budget in 1982 at the same level as for 1981, the Planning and Evaluation Committee had agreed on reductions over several Budget items totalling 294,314 CFP units (Page 75 of SPConf.21/WP.1). CRPG had also agreed on reductions of 26,000 CFP units in the proposed Administrative Budget (para. 4 of SPConf.21/WP.3) to help accommodate the ten per cent (10%) reduction in the Secretariat's proposed Work Programme and Budget for 1982.

Should the contributions for 1982 be increased by 10% over 1981, the Conference might consider incorporating some or all of the items that were reduced or eliminated to balance the budget by both the Planning and Evaluation Committee and CRPG in the 1982 Work Programme. Consideration might also be given to including other items in accordance with the priorities established by the 1981 Planning and Evaluation Committee (para. 93 of SPConf.21/WP.1) and any adjustments needed to meet other financial decisions made by the October CRPG meeting and the Twenty-First Conference could be incorporated accordingly.

I respectfully request that your Government favourably considers the proposal for increases in contributions by Participating Governments to cover a 10% increase in the 1982 Budget over 1981. A new item - Proposed Reconsideration of Contributions by Participating Governments to the 1982 Budget - is being included in the Provisional Agenda for the October 1981 Meeting of CRPG in Vila, Vanuatu, in order for the Committee to consider this proposal.

Yours sincerely,

: Secretary-General Attachs.
