Synthesis of PACE Financial Report.

The team of consultants should mention that after meeting with the main financial controller of the PACE programme, Mr. Alex Saelert, they have been signified that the financial data obtained are not final since the programme is to be continue up to the 28 February 2007. He has also made clear that the final report of the PACE financial data can be considered as his duty and will be done later. Consequently, in this report, it will only be reported data up to 21 November 2006 with very slight analyses. Overall, steady progress has been achieved on the financial execution of the programme since the last Advisory Committee meeting in Bamako, October 2006. Additional commitments have been mobilised for some of the member countries and to finance additional regional component activities (i.e. a service contract for VSF to continue assistance on epidemio-surveillance in South Sudan).
