Program broken down into components and cost category. This forms the basis for<br />
implementation <strong>of</strong> the Program activities and how funds will be utilised.<br />

Program that will be implemented for each year <strong>of</strong> the Program.<br />
Budget Program consists <strong>of</strong> detailed eligible expenditures that will be incurred in the program<br />
activities <strong>of</strong> the Program based on the Program Implementation Plan. This is prepared in<br />
accordance to the budget format and activity plan which specifies inputs such as personnel,<br />
activities and facilities for each year. The costs <strong>of</strong> the inputs are calculated and recorded on the<br />
Program Budget Drafting Form following these procedures:<br />
a- Calculate the cost <strong>of</strong> each input in US Dollar at current rate <strong>of</strong> exchange if the inputs<br />
envisaged are in a different currencies.<br />

budget drafting form.<br />
