In terms of the planning and approval of appeals and their budgets, there are still problems on the question of whether this should be done at the field and at the Headquarters levels. Some agencies insist that CAPs be finalized at the field level. This causes donor confusion. Angola is the most recent example. Our repatriation appeal must therefore cover countries of asylum as well as the country of origin.
Similar problems relate to the Liberian repatriation and operations in the Horn of Africa.
A more technical issue has caused problems in the past. This has caused delays in transferring the funds and a reduction by some 3 per cent of the donors pledge for DHA overhead costs.
