SVENSKA:
Sveriges ambassad i Addis Abeba har mottagit en begäran om avtalsförlängning med medelstillägg från Gorée Institute, daterad den 16 oktober 2015. Institutet begär ett belopp på 686 112 EURO, det vill säga cirka 6 500 000 kronor, för att genomföra 2016-års arbetsplan som en uppföljning av programmet som redan genomförts inom ramen för avtalet för perioden 2012-2015 (beslutsnummer 2012-001326). Mot bakgrund av att de föreslagna verksamheterna är direkt relaterade till tidigare arbetsplaner, görs bedömningen att ansökan är giltig och bör godkännas. På grund av att begärda medel når en volym över 5 miljoner kronor och mer än 30% av tidigare stöd (uppgick till totalt 18 miljoner kronor), behandlas ändringen av avtalet och kostnadsförlängning i enlighet med punkt 3.11.3 i insatshanteringregel. 

Gorée Institutes totala budget för avtalsperioden 2012-2014 var 19 000 000 SEK, varav Sverige bidrog med 18 000 000 SEK. För år 2016 är Gorées totala budget 10 000 000 SEK, varav Sverige bidrar med 6 500 000 SEK. 

500 000 SEK avsätts också för ambassadens användning för genomförande av en utvärdering under 2016.

ENGLISH:
The Embassy of Sweden in Addis Abeba has received a request for cost extension from the Gorée Institute, dated 16 October 2015. The institute requests an amount of 686 112 EURO, i.e. approximately 6 500 000 SEK, to implement its 2016 work plan as a follow up to the programme already implemented under the 2012-2015 agreement (desicion number 2012-001326). Considering that the activities proposed are directly related to the previous work plans, it is assessed that the request is valid and should be approved. Due to the nature of the request, i.e. over 5 million SEK and more than 30% of previous support (amounted to a total of 18 million SEK), the amendment to agreement and cost extension is treated in accordance with paragraph 3.11.3 of the contribution management rule. 

Gorée Institute's total budget for the agreement period 2012-2014 was 19 million SEK, of which Sweden contributed 18 million SEK. For 2016 Gorée's total budget is 10 million SEK, of which Sweden contributes 6,5 million SEK.
