Mr Renner's general reply is:

Projects are selected in a variety of ways, usually by the indigenous churches or relief agencies, or combinations of churches in consultation with World Vision Staff overseas. Projects selected are always those that meet basic human needs amongst most needy, can be clearly supervised by indigenous workers and meet the criteria. In many cases there is an interplay of research and selection, by national church specialists such as Doctors, Agriculturists, our Field Staff and sometimes Government officials and Government reports.

Projects are finally selected for funding by an administrative committee representing World Vision's International Offices. The New Zealand office selects those which it feels it can adequately fund and others that may have a direct appeal to the New Zealand people.

Comment: Projects appear to have been put forward by people 'on the spot' to an administrative committee representing World Vision's International Offices. From there the New Zealand office selects those which it feels it can adequately fund etc. However, it is not stated whether projects are vamped by the administrative committee or whether it is merely a rubber stamp committee. As regards the questions, there is no concrete answer to Questions 5, 6 and 7. Question 8 is avoided and Question 9 is hedged. Questions 10, 11, 12 no reply.

The criteria referred to, one presumes, is the criteria for the selection of projects for World Vision support, a three-page paper that we have.

Questions 13-14

13.	To which of the basic programmes outlined in Basic Objectives does the general donation go?
14.	Could we have a breakdown of the budget for basic objectives?

Answer: Approximately 75% of World Vision New Zealand's funds are used for child care ministries, 23% for its relief and development, approximately 2% for evangelistic outreach for Christian leadership and development. Further comment from Mr Renner: World Vision recognises that its childcare programme is essentially developmental and that development of persons is paramount.
