ZINGO reports. November 2005

DPEC COPMOSITION

The office for DPEC is in two places one in a Building belonging to the District Council and the other one used as a computer room is at a school just opposite the other office.

DPEC Meetings

These meetings are held twice a month; once a month they also hold general meetings for all the FBO leaders (Consortium). It was reported that DPEC and the entire consortium are very active in these meetings.

Volunteer Allowances

Allowances for the Volunteers were paid up to April 2005. The outstanding amount is from the month of May, 2005. Two Volunteers left the centre; one for studies and the other one due to non payment of his allowances. This has left DPEC with only two Volunteers.

Rentals

DPEC rents offices from two separate organizations; one is the District Council and the other is a School.

Rentals at the School were agreed that the school will be using the computer for all its printing provided they buy their own toner. DPEC will only be contributing towards electricity.

Resource Mobilization

A proposal was written and forwarded to CRAIDS and desk appraisal was already done. A visit to the office of the UNV confirmed this development who also assured them that the funds for this district were approved and IFACO process now will be speeded.
