MIPT: GULF: BURDEN SHARING
1. BEFORE TALKING TO EXCO AGAIN ON 5 FEBRUARY, IT WOULD BE VERY USEFUL TO HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT ALTERNATIVES THERE ARE FOR THE RECIPIENT OF ANY FUNDING WHICH HONG KONG MIGHT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE. APART FROM HMG DIRECT, WITH NOTHING SAID ABOUT WHERE THE FUNDS SHOULD BE USED, WHAT ARE THE ALTERNATIVES? ARE THERE E.G. WELFARE SCHEMES OR POST-CONFLICT REHABILITATION PROJECTS WHERE FUNDING WOULD BE EQUALLY WELCOME?
