The Caribbean Trust Fund
The Caribbean Environment Programme operates
from the Caribbean Trust Fund administered by UNEP Headquarters
in Nairobi, Kenya. The CEP was initially funded under UNEP's
Environment Fund, but the programme was designed to sustain
long-term support from its member governments in the Wider Caribbean
Region and through other partner governments and organizations.
Today, the governments of the WCR meet the basic financial operating
costs of the Regional Co-ordinating Unit through voluntary contributions.
Contribution levels are established during the biennial Intergovernmental
Meetings of CEP, with payments made directly to the CTF.
Members governments in arrears to the CTF are encouraged to
make in-kind contributions where possible. Examples of such
contributions include the hosting of CEP meetings as well as
providing secretarial services to these meetings. Secretarial
services can be in the form of personnel (secretaries, interpreters,
translators) or equipment (computers, printers, photocopy and
fax machines). Member countries wishing to use this facility
are not limited to the examples stated earlier but can contact
the Secretariat with their suggestions.
The current status of contribution to the CTF along with the
indicative level of voluntary contributions for 2004 and 2005 as agreed
by the 11th IGM in October 2004 and revised in December 2004 per country is:
