Programme Cooperation Agreement 2012 – 2013

Table 7 below shows that GRID-Arendal has significantly reduced the administration costs since 2009 and are planning to reduce them even further for 2014 in order to be competitive in the challenging “international envi-

ronmental marketplace”. If the latest signals of a more optimistic funding situation at the end of January 2014 compared to October 2013 are correct, some of the more “short sighted” cost reductions may not be needed.
