Mission report on the 34th meeting of the governing council of the regional center for mapping of resources for development (RCMRD)

Abstract

The 34th annual Meeting of the Governing Council (GC) of the Regional Centre for Services in Mapping of Resources for Development was held on 14th and 15th December 2000, at the headquarters of the Centre in Nairobi. The meeting deliberated at length on the proposed Staff and Salary Structures. It noted that they were realistic and appealing, resulting in a total annual budget close to 500/0 of the one in vigor. The meeting further observed that nearly $500,000 were needed to implement the restructuring to abolish 11 posts from the current staff structure. Major issues considered were country statements, report of the Technical Committee, and the report of the Appointments and Promotions Committee. A copy of the draft report of the Council is appended to this one. The following matters are highlighted.
