High-level Meeting for Launching the 2011 Round
Of the ICP in Western Asia Region
Beirut, 20 July 2010
Fundraising: Open Issues
 The budget that needs to be allocated for the proper
functioning of the project during the Round has been
discussed in a previous Session of the High-Level Meeting
 Those figures are estimates of costs, DO NOT correspond to
funds available anywhere (ESCWA, WB etc.)
 The figures shown are probably an UNDER-ESTIMATION of
total costs, see budget allocated for staffing at ESCWA and
countries’ participation to the Round
 Small budget ‘inherited’ from the previous Round now
available at ESCWA for VERY short-term and contingency
needs, i.e. organization of this three-day meeting
Fundraising: Open Issues
 There is a need for concrete steps forward in fundraising …
 … with a joint effort by the ‘established’ Regional Bodies,
Member Countries, Stakeholders, Users, Regional and
International Organizations, and potential donors in general
 Activities (Meetings, Workshops, Training) might be in part coshared with other volunteering Training Institutions in the
ESCWA Region
 However, that will not be sufficient to support the whole set of
activities during the time-horizon of the Round
