Contributions from Germany and Switz erland made June the best month so far for contributions in 
2012 with CHF 2 million arriving in our account.  Ho wever, contributions received in 2012 remain 
significantly below historical levels for this point  in the year.  The pledged amount from Norway is 
expected shortly and we continue to have contact  with Sweden, Finland, the EC, Japan and Korea 
regarding their intentions to make contributions.    Activity Level    Orange 
 
Expenditures and commitments recorded in 2012 for the implementation of the planned activities 
under the DDAGTF now total CHF 8.6 million. This reflects a continued gradual implementation as 
activities are carefully reviewed prior to final approv al.  As of the end of June, 47% of the planned 
2012 activities have been initiated. 46% of Chap ter A and 30% of Chapter B including 48% of 
Regional Seminars and 18% of National Technical A ssistance Activities.  (An activity is counted once 
it has been formally authorized and funds have been  set aside for its implementation.  The method of 
counting does not give an indication of which activ ities are fully complete.  Similarly, one cannot 
assume that if an activity has been counted that all of its associated expenditur es have been recorded.)  
It is expected that activity leve ls and financial commitments will accelerate in the coming months (as 
long as the cash flow situation remains positive). 
 
Outlook   Orange 
 
The actual cash balance available of 6.2 million app ears relatively healthy.  However, most of this 
available balance has been informa lly allocated to anticipated activiti es that have yet to receive final 
official approval.  As mentioned above there ar e relatively clear assurances from several traditional 
contributors that they will again support the DDAGT F.  Nonetheless, contributing Members continue 
to face difficult situations at home.  If administra tive or political delays result in funds not arriving 
until the third or fourth quarters of 2012 these delays will have the potential to disrupt 
implementation.  TA managers and c oordinators should continue to pr ioritize and be prepared to adapt 
their activities in the event we begin to enc ounter cash flow issues later in the year.   
 
Most of the other trust funds are in a relatively h ealthy position in terms of  contributions and outlook 
at this point.
