Development Fund
The development fund's objective is to support members from economically less well developed countries and hence priority will be given to members from countries listed by the OECD as less developed (LDC) or low income countries (LIC). However, applications will be considered from members based in other countries such requests have to be supported by a statement explaining the circumstances that justify the application. Priority will also be given to those who have not received support in the past.
The INQAAHE Secretariat notifies the membership when the Board is able to make money available from the Development Fund and whether there are any specific purposes for which the resources have identified (eg conference travel, visits to other agencies, etc). Currently, the Board is establishing several Member Services which will assist members in the development of themselves and their personnel
When a grant is made available for the cost of attendance at an INQAAHE event, it is restricted to cover the registration costs, hotel accommodation and air fare by the cheapest available route and will generally be limited to a maximum of US $2,500. In 2009, the Fund is being used to support 18 participants to attend the Biennial Conference in Abu Dhabi.
