ings, including the following:

(a) trainers' personnel costs;
(b) trainers' and trainees' travel expenses;
(c) other current expenses such as materials and supplies;

sively for the training project;

(e) cost of guidance and counselling services for the training project;
(f) trainees' personnel costs up to the total of the other eligible costs referred to
