Approaches by donors concerning individual contributions — Donors should be<br />

encouraged to consider areas of programs that are most in need of funding and to<br />

make unearmarked contributions wherever possible to permit the greatest flexibility.<br />

All contributions must be co-ordinated through FDRS.<br />

Contributions in-kind — The field should decide if these contributions are suitable<br />

and report the offer immediately to FDRS.<br />

Establish procedures for reporting information regularly to FRDS including:<br />

♦ Information for special appeals or special submissions and reports to donors<br />

♦ Strategic information that may have been received from donor contacts<br />

♦ General information such as donor policy statements<br />

♦ Press clippings on foreign aid, humanitarian affairs and related issues<br />
