Endowment Fund Terms of Reference

The basic concern of the Task Force Endowment Fund should be to enable the Task Force to pursue its own activities. The following priorities are suggested:

Financing the Task Force Liaison Projects, as approved at the March, 1999, London meeting. This is the main task of the Task Force at present, and every effort should be made to further it. Practically speaking, while governments inviting liaison projects should be encouraged to cover as large a part of the costs as possible, funds should be made available for experts from Task Force countries, as agreed to by the Task Force, to go to the host countries and execute the projects upon invitation. Some of the expenses for preparing special aids and materials relevant to each such venture might also be funded by the Task Force.

A second group of priorities could be discussed once the Endowment Fund is in place and funds become available, but not at the present time.
