Additional inputs from DWAF will consist of the allocation of technical personnel to some of the projects, administrative assistance, including provision of a Programme Manager, the printing of brochures for certain projects, and additional funding to the projects. DWAF’s contribution quantified in financial term’s amounts to an equivalent of 8.0 Million Norwegian Kroner (6 Million Rands).
