Paragraph #164Session #5 (2006)

Full Text

The Permanent Forum reiterates its recommendations on the establishment of the indigenous fellowship programme within its secretariat and requests Governments, the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), other donors and foundations to contribute to the fellowship programme so that it can be launched and administered in 2007.

Responses

IFAD reports that on the basis of proposals received by the Permanent Forum for supporting the
indigenous fellowship programme, IFAD is considering extending grant financing to the secretariat of the Permanent Forum. However, in order to be considered,
proposals must meet the Fund’s grant policy criteria, and their approval is subject to technical evaluation and revision. In addition, grant financing can only be extended to organizations after the successful completion of previous grants (ongoing grant No. 810 to the SPFII).
