INTERNATIONAL NETWORK OF BASIN ORGANIZATIONS

p RBO - AP budget

The program is proposed for a 5-years period. Indeed, some projects ought to be started as soon as possible.

In order to improve clarity, allow for partial funding and launch the program components, the budget is divided into 4 parts A, B, C, D (corresponding to the 4 expected outputs).

Please note: EXPENDITURES NECESSARY FOR MANAGING THE PROJECTS.ARE INCLUDED IN BUDGETS A, B, C and D.

A fifth table E, shows expenses relative to INBO proper. These expenditures are taken into account in the Network yearly budget. The General Assembly in Krakow (end of September 2000) must approved this budget together with the new statutes and vote the corresponding budget.

As regards this associated program, expenditures are divided into two categories:

the financing of members' meetings during such and such project (direct cooperation actions for instance). This mainly generates travel costs and per diems;

the funding of studies and training costs, i.e. intellectual services generating fees in man/day or man/month,

Note: Budget D of the "AQUADOC INTERNATIONAL" project also includes other kinds of expenditure.

Therefore, some expenses are repetitive and can be presented in "modules" usable according to the development of each item of each program budget. The following unit costs could be adopted:

round long distance travels, inclusive connecting flights from the organization location to the nearest international airport: average cost US $ 1520/u,

daily allowance (whenever due): US $ 152/d on the average. Sojourn being calculated on the basis of 8 days (to include a Saturday thus allowing cheaper tariffs for long distance flights and taking into account the connecting time required),

fee for a junior expert: US $ 580/d , and US $ 91,000/year;

fee for a senior expert: US $ 700/d, and US $ 112,000/year.

All these figures can be discussed and shall vary depending on the case. Each project item will be followed up by one of the program partners (INBO, or LANBO, or CEE-TAC, or SAS-TAC, etc.) according to its capacity in gathering the financial resources required. For instance, the cost of a training program organized by CEE-TAC within the framework of Output n° 3 (Synthesis of knowledge and know-how) could differ from the cost of the same program organized by LANBO.

All figures are in 1,000 US dollars

Module n°1 Hypothesis :

round trips (including national travels) estimated at 1,525 US $/ capita

sojourn (8 days) on the average 1,220 US$/ capita,

total 2,745 proposed round figure 3,000US $ / capita.

Module n°2 Hypothesis : an average budget for professional workshop with coordinator and specialist is :

preparation, state of the art : 30,000 US $

training fees : : 15,000

translation : : 4,000

logistics (10%) : : 2,000

travel & sojourn of 15 attendees : 41,175

idem pour 2 coordinators : 5,490

TOTAL: 97,665 proposed round figure: 100.000 US $

Module n°2 bis: an average mission could include :

fees 12 daysx555 US $ : 6.660

travel and sojourns . : 2.745

TOTAL : 9.405 proposed round figure: 10.000US $/u

Module n°3: average budget

training fees: : 29,000 US $

translation : : 4,000

logistics (10%) : : 2,000

travel of local attendees : : 00

sojourn of local attendees (15x5j) : 11,434

travel & sojourn of coordinator (3u.) : 8,235

TOTAL : 54,669 proposed round figure: 55,000 US $/u

Module n°4: Hypothesis : An average budget to improve a river basin include:

Feasibility studies,
Technical assistance (institutionalization expert, lawyer, network officer, irrigation, water and sanitation experts, economist, community specialist, social framework experts,
Institutional reform
Geographically referenced data base (when appropriate)
Development of GIS (when appropriate)
Etc.

Due to the experience in the following case : Aegean rivers (TURKEY), Sabarmati river (GUJARAT, INDIA), Rio San Juan & Rio Coco(NICARAGUA, HONDURAS & COSTA RICA), Irtysch river (KAZAKHSTAN), Vistula river (POLAND, UKRAINE, BIELORUSSIA), total cost can be comprise between US $ 320,000 (Irtysch) and 1,200,000 (Vistule) on a 3 years period, plus 10% of local costs borne by the beneficiaries.

For the purpose of the project, we propose to retain US $ 600,000, that is to say US $ 200,000/year.

ESTIMATE COST FOR DIRECT COOPERATION

Direct Cooperation between two partners may generate the following costs:

Task description

Unit cost

US $

Formation of a team with three resource persons maximum, in charge of establishing contacts locally, their salaries being borne by each partner, which represents part of its funding share. These people should meet at least once a year at each partner's headquarters, which implies the travel cost of twice 3 persons only as the host organization has not to pay travel cost and per diem for its own personnel (see details in module n° 1)

16,500/year/u

Direct cooperation should include a common workshop once a year, gathering about ten local people and five visiting advisors to allow a wider exchange and the dissemination of acquired experience on topics carefully prepared in advance under INBO coordinator's responsibility (see details in module n° 2).

100,000/year/u

Management cost for this project associated program, is usually computed by dividing by six the cost of INBO coordinator for a mean year (details in table E).

23,000/year/u

Translation cost; (assumption)

4,000/year/u

The cost of local secretariats are mentioned for the record as it is borne by each partner, this cost being part of its funding share.

f.r.

Expenses generated by the visits and supervision of the coordinator and possibly specialists are mentioned for the record as they are already integrated in Output n° 2 for good management practice: the coordinator can effectively combined the travels needed for these two tasks.

f.r.

It is the same regarding training costs which could be deemed necessary for good implementation of direct cooperation.
