varying at different levels within the organisation. At the central level the cost is equivalent to 13 per cent of the
total programme cost and at the district level the cost is equivalent to ten per cent of the programme cost.
Administration and logistical costs incurred by partners are equivalent to 15 per cent of the total project cost.
