Notably, Zimbabwe could not utilize the whole amount because the country’s erratic currency fluctuations resulted in the chapter having excess funds in local units. Hence they were still able to finance all the planned activities at a much lower cost. MISA Annual Report (April 2003 – March 2004) 110
