:I.STRUCTURE OFFOOD AID SUPPLIED TOUNRWA AND DISTRIBUTED BYTHE AGENCY
UNRWA ,whose mandate hasbeen extended bytheUnited Nations General
Assembly until June 1984 ,implements twodifferent programmes under the
Leading offood aid (1)(which forms part ofrelief services that also
embrace help with housing and assistance forpeople suffering particular
Lardship ):
the Basic Rations Programme ;
the Supplementary Feeding Programme .
These programmes areimplemented infive different territories (Lebanon ,
Syria ,Jordan ,West Bank andtheGaza Strip ).
Basic Rations Programme
Under this programme there arearound 824000recipients .Thenumber
ofrecipients isatpresent governed byaceiling {2)andthelist
ofrefugees isconstantly updated ,astheinclusion ofeach new
recipient (e.g. arefugee child inneed who isentitled torations
but isnotreceiving anybecause oftheceiling )depends onthe
removal ofaformer recipient onaccount ofdeath ,absence ,employment ,
and soon.
(1)TheAgency also organizes :
i»aneducation programme (elementary ,general andhigher education ),
vocational training anduniversity scholarships ,involving around
314 000pupils ,3460vocational training places and 360study
grants respectively .Thenumber ofinstructors is9500 ;
ii„ahealth service (preventive andcurative medicine ,immunization
programme ,PMI ,school medical service ).TheSupplementary Feed­
ingProgramme islinked with this health service aspart ofthe
arrangements formonitoring ,protecting andimproving thestand­
ard ofnutrition .
(2)Itshould becompared with thetotal number ofrefugees registered
with UNRWA ,namely 1844 318persons . ,

Theprogramme provides amonthly ration offlour (5kg),oils and
fats (0.375 kg)andsugar ',0,5 Kg)foreach recipient .Forthe
refugees ingreatest need theflour ration isincreased ,(to10kg).
The rations distributed come from contributions inkind from various
donors (1),asUNRWA hashalted purchases foodstuffs ,onaccount of
itsbudget deficit .
Suppl^entary_Feeding_Programme
This programme isdesigned for themost vulnerable among therefugees .
Assuch itisclosely linked with thehealth programme runbyUNRWA .
There arethree aspects to .theSupplementary Feeding Programme :
(a)Distribution ofhotmeals andvitamins AandDinahundred orso
feeding centres onsixdays each week tochildren under eight and .
-subject tomedical prescription -toolder people (around
35000persons inall).
Under the1979-80 Convention ,theCommunity 'scontribution tothis
programme was asfollows :
73400tonnes ofcereals ,
12000tonnes ofsugar ,
6935tonnes ofbutteroil ,
650tonnes ofskimmed milk powder .
These products aredelivered cifandaflat-rate contribution of
US035pertonne ismade tocover internal transport anddistribution
costs ,The total estimated value ofthese contributions was around
22.87 million ECU .

(b)Distribution ofwhole orskimmed milk inmilk distribution centres
andPMIcentres tochildren under three (this programme covers
50000 children )„
(c)Distribution ofextra rations (mainly flour andbutteroil )to
pregnant women ,nursing mothers aridpeople who are sick .
Itshould beemphasized that -this programme for themost vulnerable
among therefugees isalmost wholly Community-financed .TheCommunity
supplies foodstuffs (1)plus acash contribution ofaround US$3.5
million tohelp implement theprogramme (purchase ofadditional
foodstuffs such ascorned beef ,pulses ,local products andvitamins ;
upkeep ofdistribution centres ;remuneration ofstaff responsible
forimplementing theprogramme ).
+
+ +
Theimplementation ofthese programmes in1979 and1980 bymeans of
the allocations made under thecurrent Convention (1979-80 )isdealt
with inAnnex IV.
For 1979 and 1980 theCommunity contributed toUNRWA thefollowing :
6600tonnes ofcereals ,
1600tonnes ofskimmed milk powder ,
165 tonn.es ofbutteroil ,
172 tonnes ofsugar ,
(these products being delivered tothecifstage )
plus atotal cash contribution ofUS$6866000 .Thetotal value of
theprogramme canbeestimated at6.92 million ECU .

Thecash contribution forimplementing theSupplementary Feeding
Programme (US£3916917 )is8.8% upover the1980 contribution
(US$36oc 000 )•This limited increase istheresult ofareduction
-which will bemaintained in1981 (1)-intinescope oftheprooramme
implemented in1980 .
Analysis ofthevarious items ofexpenditure financed bythis contrib­
ution also shows that :
i.theitem forthepurchase offoodstuffs (corned beef ,tomato
paste ,pulses ,burghol )issharply higher :US£367 000in1980 (2),
US£704 997 in1981 .Itshould bepointed out that thecorned beef
andtomato paste areofCommunity origin .
•ii.Theitem forthepurchase oflocal products (fruit andvegetables )
andvitamins isstable :US£753 000 in1980 and US£776 000 in
1981 .
iii .The total for items directly benefiting thepeople being assisted
will beUS£1480000in1981 ,equivalent to37.81% ofthetotal
cost oftheprogramme (3).
Ifthis reduction (ageofrecipients lowered from eight tosixyears )
were maintained in1982 and1983 ,thecash contribution needed forthe
Supplementary Feeding Programme would beUS£4242000 in ,1982
US£4667 000 in1983 .
However ,UNRWA isconsidering requesting therestoration ofthe
programme toitsoriginal level .
This figure isbelow that for1979 (US£594 000 )forthereasons
given inAnnex IV:Implementation ofthe1979-80 Convention .
Corresponding percentage in1979 :35.13%
in1980 :31.01%

costs areaccounted formair-ly bytheimplementation cfthe
programme ofhotmeals distributed onsixdays each week to
children under six ,using theproducts referred toabove .
B.ProP°sed_response_to_UNRWA_|_s request
1.Products
The allocations ofproducts for 1981 could beasfollows (1):
40000tonnes ofunprocessed cereals (corresponding to
29743 tonnes ofwheat flour and 152 tonnes
ofmilled rice ),
1632tonnes ofskimmed milk powder ,
3900tonnes ofbutteroil ,
6086tonnes ofwhite sugar .
These quantities meet therequest .infull andrepresent ,taking
into account their delivery tothecifstage andthecash contrib­
ution ofUS£35fortransport anddistribution ofproducts under
theBasic Rations Programme ,anestimated value atworld prices
of18.64 million ECUand 32„35 million ECUatinternal prices .
2„Financial aid
Given thetrend ofexpenditure relating tothe Supplementary
Feeding Programme (limited growth ,redistribution ofdifferent
.items ),theannual cash contribution for1981 could besetat
US#3920000 (2).
(1)These allocations areincluded ,asregards thecereals ,skimmed milk
povvder andbutteroil ,inthecorresponding food aidprogrammes for
1981 .Delivery tothecifstage andtheflat-rate contribution (US$35 )
will becharged against item 9240 (transport costs )inthe1981 budget .
(2)This contribution will becharged against item 9250 relating tothe
EEC-UNRWA Convention ,towhich funds will betransferred from the
appropriation of3000000ECUentered inChapter 100 .

1981 ).
3.Special nature oftheproposed new Convention

ANNEX IV
Implementation of "the1979-80 Convention
Given thelength oftime taken toconclude theConvention for1979 and1980 ,
products were supplied wherever possible onthebasis ofannual food aid
programmes .However ,this wasnotpossible inthecase ofsugar andthe .
products supplied fortheSupplementary Feeding Programme ,forwhich a
regulation andtheConvention were necessary .
Furthermore ,thesize ofthecash contribution tothefinancing ofthe .
Supplementary Feeding Programme (US03600000compared with initial
expenditure ofUS04006000 )caused UNRWA totake steps toreduce
expenditure under this programme
Nevertheless theimplementation ofaidcanberegarded ashaving been ata
normal level over the1979-80 period taken asawhole ,,most oftinequanti­
ties having been delivered by31December .1980 ,,

2.Implementation oftheSupplementary Feeding Programme in1979 and 1980
Asnodelivereis were made before 1980 ,theAgency kept theSupplementary
Feeding Programme going bydrawing onitsstocks ,which will berestored

A.1979
Details oftheimplementation ofthis programme aregiven inAnnex IVB:
Balance sheet oftheSupplementary Feeding Programme implemented by
UNRWA in1979 .Inthis connection itmaybenoted that thedistribution
ofbutteroil under this programme (forwhich noprovision wasmade prior
to1980 )wascarried outusing quantities allocated under theBasic
Rations Programme .
Fortheoperation ofthis programme in1979 {purchase oflocal products ,
comed beef (340tonnes Hi),tomato paste (24tonnes )(2),adirmiisfc^tive

Maintaining thprevious levej .ofservices provided would have
required acash contribution ofUS$4100000towards thepurchase
ofadditional products andoperating expenses fbutbecause the
request wasmade atalate stage theplanned contribution
(US03600000 )could notbe .increased .Inorder tomake upthe
shortfall UMRWA reduced itspurchases ofcorned beef (115 t)and .
cut staff costs .Inaddition ,,the ageofthe i*ecip.ients waslowered
from eight tosixyears „Theprogramme should beback tonormal
asregards rations in1981 and .UNRWA envisages restoring ittoits
1979 level in1982 (ageofrecipients raised once more toeight
years ).
