A Global Working Group, made up of the chairpersons of the component working groups and the Director of PAPO, has also been established. This is to meet regularly to discuss operational issues and to facilitate Program policy coordination and information exchange. It will finance priority projects aimed at improving general health service delivery.

Although not yet integrated into the unified PAF structure, both EPF and SAF have been active in 1995. Tg 90 million was allocated to the Employment Promotion Fund. Of this, Tg 40 million was used for the promotion of small-scale enterprises. The remaining Tg 50 million was used for productive activities for disabled persons and for the establishment of a special center rendering assistance to disabled persons. In addition to the allocations to the SAF and the EPF the Government has undertaken many NPAP priority tasks.
