3. Description of whether food aid is provided on in -kind, untied cash -based basis and whether monetiz ation was permitted  
The financial contributio ns made to the WFP comprise payments that are earmarked for specific WFP  operations (see question 1) as well as payments that the

commitments under the Food Assistance Convention, Switzerland encourages the purchase of local or regional goods. Monetizatio n has not been applied.
