International Boundary - -- -- / Development Zone Limit I___ Paved Road ZONE 4lt 0 20 40 50 Kilometers iv PREFACE Because of special AID funding and administrative constraints and the particular evolution of foreign donor interest in this project (explained more fully in Section I.B.),the Project Paper format utilized herein, although containing documentation for all of USAID's standard requirements, has been modified somewhat. Specifically, the interested reader will find all USAID internal documentation (facesheeti, action memorandum; project authorization; section on conditions, covenants, and negotiating status; PID authorization cable; statutory checklists; GOGB request for assistance; 611(a) certification) relegated to Annex C'of this report. The reasoning for this is simple: (a) This Project Paper, at the request of the other donors, is the sole reference document to be used for project approval and implementation by SIDA, SUCO and t~he GOS and GOGB, as well as AID. (b) The AID financial contribution to the overall project is small (9%).. (c) The Project Paper will be translated both in ;ortuguese and French and Annex G can therefore be simply removed prior to translation. Also, because the fiscal years of the various donors exhibit considerable variation (U.S. fiscal year begins October 1, SEwedish fiscal year begins July 1, GOGB fiscal year begins January 1) we have utilized calendar years throughout and have made special note only when one country's fiscal year required special attention. Finally, the CDO/Bissau and his colleagues from the local offices of SIDA, SUCO and Guinea Bissau Forest Service wish to recognize the quality of effort of the PP design team: Raul Sardinha, Forester (Institute of Agronomy, Lisbon), Steven Reyna, Anthropologist (University of New Hampshire, USA), Sten Noren, Forester (University of Agricultural Sciences, Sweden), .and Jim Hradsky, Design Officer (REDSO/WA, Abidjan).
