Summary of the funding for this exchange

The project officially started on March 1 2006, so we are now eligible to claim costs, and will record them from now on. For our 30 participants on the six exchanges we have the following budget per person;

Management fee for UK work; £60
Cultural and linguistic preparation; £23 for books and materials, £15 for specialist advice
Transport; £300
Insurance; £34
Subsistence; £102 per day

This gives you a total of £942 per person if we were actually in a host country for five working days.

The funding is a 75% intervention rate, the other 25% is our contribution which is the management time I and others are putting in, our preparatory time contributed by our own organisations, and our expenses of getting to the airport and back home in the UK. Depending upon the exchange team members may have to pay some additional small costs themselves.
