1. Thank you for your letter of 28 May enclosing a statement of expenditure for 1985/86, together with a budget for 1986/87.

2. We have carefully considered your application for further funding in the light of the report forwarded to Penny White with your letter of 6 February 1986, and I am pleased to confirm that this Administration is prepared to provide a grant of £16,000 towards the cost of the programme during the period June 1986 to March 1987.

3.

The terms of the grant are as follows:-

i. project expenditure details will be made available for inspection at our request. We accept that it is difficult to itemise all individual local expenditure in less developed countries and we are, therefore, prepared to agree that a collated list of expenditures certified by Save the Children Fund's Field Director will be adequate for our accounting purposes. The following form of words should be used:-

"I certify that the payments detailed above have been actually and

necessarily made on the project as specified in our application and agreed by the Overseas Development Administration. The estimated figures are a realistic forecast of the payment likely to be made to the end of the current period.";

ii.

as a final discharge of our grant, this Administration will require two signed copies of the Save the Children Fund's Annual Audited Statements prepared by an independent firm of recognised professional Accountants, be supplied to this Administration. The Accounts must show the Administration's grant as a separate item of income;

iii. if at the end of the project there is an unspent balance in hand from the grant it will be refundable to this Administration;
