attaches particular importance to extending the British presence to Ibadan, a key academic and commercial centre, where support for PES opportunities is becoming essential. In Kenya, the Council plans to work more closely with the business sector and with aid agencies whose regional headquarters are based in Nairobi. Additional resources for Anglophone Africa will be sought from 1991/92.
7.70 The Council has given careful consideration to the case for a higher profile in Francophone Africa, particularly in view of administrative difficulties in the absence of any local management presence for large aid programmes in Zaire, Congo, Rwanda and Burundi. Although possibilities exist for language teaching,
particularly in Kinshasa, Council objectives in the region carry insufficient priority to justify the large investment required to open an office pre- eminently for aid management in the region. It would, however, be ready to do so should ODA funding, for example, be made available.
