Personnel Summary

In 1963 the number of volunteers is increasing substantially as activities have been initiated in seven new countries and are expanded in many countries with programs already underway. Training will also begin for replacement of volunteers in three countries, whose terms of service will be completed.

In 1964 the Latin American program will double in size as new and expanded country programs are undertaken primarily in the fields of agriculture and community action. Latin American nations working under the Alliance for Progress are finding in Peace Corps volunteers a timely and effective adjunct to their social progress and development programs. This underlies the rapidly increasing demands for volunteers in this region.

Near East/South Asia, 1,350 volunteers.-On August 31, 1962, 439 Peace Corps volunteers were in training or overseas for projects in eight countries: India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Ceylon, Cyprus, Nepal, Turkey, and Iran. The 1963 program is characterized chiefly by the expansion of these programs. Probably its most striking feature is the anticipated rapid expansion of the Pakistan program during the summer of 1963, principally in the fields of irrigation and water desalinization.

In keeping with the emphasis on growth in Latin America and Africa during 1964, the Near East/South Asia program during that period will consist almost exclusively of the replacement of volunteers completing their term of service in on-going programs.

2. Administration and program support. This activity provides for all Peace Corps expenses except those which are directly related to volunteer and project costs. In Washington, it includes policy and program direction; program planning, development, and evaluation; direction of the recruitment, training, and selection of volunteers; procurement; financial, administrative, and management services; direction of the medical program; and research. Overseas it includes program management; medical support; and all financial, administrative, and management

services.

The ratio of administration and program support costs to total requirements continues to decline. For 1962, 1963, and 1964 these ratios are 33%, 26%, and 19%, respectively.
