Abstract
DIRECTION HAS BEEN UNSTABLE AND INDIVIDUAL STAFF MEMBERS HAVE NOT WORKED TOGETHER TOWARD A WELL-DEFINED GOAL. CEPD OFFICIALS INDICATE THAT SEVERAL CEPD PERSONNEL AND MANY OF ITS ONGOING FUNCTIONS WILL BE TERMINATED IN JULY IF AID OR OTHER EXTERNAL FINANCING IS NOT FORTHCOMING. SOME OF THESE ACTIVITIES AND PERSONNEL ARE INCONSISTENT WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THIS EVALUATION AND FAILURE TO MEET THE CEPD PAYROLL FOR AN INTERIM PERIOD MAY BE THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY OF ASSURING LONGER-TERM FUNDING FOR THE KEY CROPS. THE EVALUATOR(S) MADE 8 RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDING; (1)AND FUNDING FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS SHOULD BE POSITED ON THE ASSUMPTION AND, IF POSSIBLE, AN UNDERSTANDING WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF PERU (GOP), THAT CEPD WILL BE IMMEDIATELY REORGANIZED, RESTAFFED, AND ABSORBED AS A UNIT AS EARLY AS FEASIBLE INTO AN EXISTING GOP AGENCY; AND (2)THE MAJOR EMPHASIS DURING THE COMING TWO YEARS SHOULD BE ON THE TRAINING AND FORMATION OF A KEY PERUVIAN CORPS STAFF OF POPULATION AND DEMOGRAPHIC EXPERTS.
