3 — Programme implementation Administratief akkoord tussen de wederzijdse bevoegde autoriteiten inzake samenwerking tussen de Landbouwhogeschool in Wageningen en de Brawijaya Universiteit te Malang
Programme implementation
a. General
The partner universities Unibraw and LHW, undertake to execute the Programme of Cooperation in compliance with the aims, rules and regulations that apply, firstly at governmental level, secondly for the PUO-programme for university projects of development cooperation (see appendix A) and thirdly as agreed upon in the detailed plans of operation for each project.
Any commitments made in the signed plans of operation for specific activities will be binding; changes therein can only be made in mutual agreement.
In general the activities included in the Programme of Cooperation will be executed in project form. A project is a clearly defined and limited programme of activities in terms of aims, partners, means and duration, as specified in a plan of operations, signed by or on behalf of the cooperating (sub)faculties or institutes.
In case of a negative evaluation of specific activities, plans for a phased termination of the activities concerned will be drawn up in mutual consultation.
Project equipment and materials are Dutch Government property and will become the property of Unibraw upon termination of the Cooperative Relationship.
b. Financing
Two main components can be distinguished in the financing of the cooperation.
A. Dutch component consisting of
1. Funds from the Dutch government (1,7 million Dutch guilders for the first three years).
2. Salaries of LHW staff during short visits and backstopping.
B. An Indonesian component, mainly consisting of the provision of staff and workroom-, classroom-, and laboratory-facilities.
c. Organization
Both at Indonesian and Dutch side an organization will be set up, allowing for a partnership structure through which counterparts at the various levels can consult each other.
The Agricultural University of Wageningen will function as central address for coordination, communication and financial administration for all Dutch partner(s) and authorities concerned. The LHW in close consultation of Unibraw, will prepare and organize the necessary meetings, draft proposals and write the letters necessary for the progress of the programme.
The Dutch partner(s) will establish a Steering Committee. In this Committee the representatives of the Executive Boards of the Dutch partner institutions will be the only authorities to make any commitment for their institutions under this Cooperative Relationship.
Decisions on general policy matters, on supervision and on coordination of the Programme of Cooperation will be taken in mutual consultation between LHW (or Steering Committee) Unibraw and NUFFIC.
At project level project supervisors are responsible for the execution of the activities as described in the plan of operation of the projects. Project supervisors are held to ensure that they are adequately authorized by their (sub)faculty or institute.
Each project can have a project committee on both Indonesian and Dutch side.
d. Progress reports and evaluation
To get a good idea about the progress of the projects it will be necessary to produce every half year a written progress-report in the language in which the cooperating partners normally communicate. The reports shall be signed by the cooperating partners and presented to NUFFIC by the Dutch partners in charge of administering the cooperation.
By the end of each three year period an overall evaluation may be held at the request of either the sponsoring agencies or of the partners. If the evaluation leads to negative conclusions about specific activities, plans for a phased termination of the activities concerned will be drawn up in mutual consultation between the partners and NUFFIC.
e. Settlement of conflicts
Certain matters may appear not to have been sufficiently covered by this arrangement or may lead to differences of opinion or disputes. In the first instance these should be solved between the direct partners (project supervisors) cooperating within a specific project. If no settlement can be reached at this level the matter will be taken up at institutional level in a consultation between the Dutch (Steering Committee) and the Indonesian partners. If this does not lead to a satisfactory solution, NUFFIC should be informed and take up the matter. If no settlement can be reached along these lines the appropriate Indonesian and Dutch governmental authorities will have to take the ultimate decision.
The partners in the Programme of Cooperation undertake to notify each other of any problems that may occur with regard to activities of staff which may endanger the good relationship. Appropriate action should then be taken in mutual consultation.
