4  OTHER RELEVANT INFOR MATION WITH RESPECT TO ACTIONS TAKEN WITHIN  THE 
FRAMEWORK OF THE DEC ISION:  
4.1.  The New Zealand Aid Programme funds scholarships and Short Term Training Awards to 
students from developing countries who wish to study at New Zealand institutions. A number of 
these students attend agri culture -related courses at Lincoln and Massey Universities, and are able 
to utilise their new skills on return to their home country. The New Zealand Aid Programme also 
provides support to the University of the South Pacific in Suva, Fiji.  
4.2.  New Zealand dipl omatic posts supply information relevant to accessing the New Zealand 
market to developing country exporters and provide for further contact, where necessary, with the 
appropriate departments in New Zealand for more detailed advice/assistance. Each Head of  
Mission also has two funds: the Head of Mission Fund and the Small Projects Fund, which are used 
to fund smaller value projects, occasionally related to the primary sector. Figures for these funds 
have not been included here.
